{{Short description|Administrative divisions of Mexico City}}

[[File:Mexico (city) in Mexico (zoom).svg|thumb|right|200px|alt=Map of Mexico with Mexico City highlighted|Map of Mexico with Mexico City highlighted]]
Mexico City is divided into 16 [[Boroughs of Mexico|boroughs]], officially designated as {{lang|es|demarcaciones territoriales}} or colloquially known as {{lang|es|alcaldías}}{{fact|date=March 2024}} in Spanish. Headed by a mayor, these boroughs kept the same territory and name as the former{{when|date=March 2024}} {{lang|es|delegaciones}}, while expanding their local government powers.<ref name="cdmx" /> Boroughs are considered as third-level subdivisions for statistical [[data collection]] and cross-country comparisons. The traditional center of Mexico City comprises four boroughs:
[[Benito Juárez, Mexico City|Benito Juárez]], [[Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City |Cuauhtémoc]], [[Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City |Miguel Hidalgo]] and [[Venustiano Carranza, Mexico City |Venustiano Carranza]].
[[Mexico City]] is one of the 32 federal entities of Mexico, the others being the 31 [[states of Mexico|states]]. It was named {{lang|es|Distrito Federal}} (Federal District) up to February 5, 2016, when it was officially renamed the {{lang|es|Ciudad de México}}.<ref name="dof">{{cite web|url=https://www.dof.gob.mx/nota_detalle.php?codigo=5424565&fecha=05/02/2016|title=General Agreement of the Plenary of the Federal Judiciary Council by which the name of the Federal District is changed to Mexico City.|language=es|publisher=Diario Oficial de la Federación|access-date=2021-03-01}}</ref> According to the 2020 [[Censo General de Población y Vivienda|Mexican census]], it is the [[States of Mexico|second most populated]] entity with {{nts|9209944}} inhabitants and the [[States of Mexico|smallest by land area]] spanning {{convert|1494.3|km2|sqmi}}.<ref name="census2020">{{cite web|url=https://www.inegi.org.mx/app/scitel/Default?ev=9|title=Censo de Población y Vivienda 2020 - SCITEL|language=es|publisher=INEGI|access-date=2021-01-27}}</ref><ref name="Landarea">

Despite containing the word "City", it is not governed as a city but as a unit consisting of multiple subdivisions. As a result of the Political Reforms enacted in 2016, it is no longer designated as a federal district and became a city, a member entity of the Mexican federation, seat of the Powers of the Union and the capital of Mexico.<ref name="cdmx">{{cite web|url=https://data.consejeria.cdmx.gob.mx/images/leyes/estatutos/Constitucion_Politica_de_la_Ciudad_de_Mexico_3.pdf|title=Constitution of Mexico City|language=es|publisher=Gobierno de la Ciudad de México|access-date=2021-02-08}}</ref> Thus, Mexico City is not organized into [[Municipalities of Mexico|municipalities]].
The largest borough by population is [[Iztapalapa]], with 1,835,486 residents, while the smallest is [[Milpa Alta]] with 152,685 residents. [[Iztacalco]] is the most densely populated subdivision in Mexico.<ref name="census2020" /> The largest borough by land area is [[Tlalpan]] which spans {{convert|314.5|km2|sqmi|adj=ri2|2|abbr=on}}, and the smallest is [[Iztacalco]] with {{convert|23.1|km2|sqmi|adj=ri2|2|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Landarea />
The most recent boroughs are [[Benito Juárez, Mexico City|Benito Juárez]], [[Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City|Cuauhtémoc]], [[Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City|Miguel Hidalgo]] and [[Venustiano Carranza, Mexico City|Venustiano Carranza]], all established in 1970 out of the former circumscription of Mexico City.<ref name=dates>{{cite book |date=1996|title=Distrito Federal División Territorial de 1810 a 1995.|url=http://internet.contenidos.inegi.org.mx/contenidos/productos/prod_serv/contenidos/espanol/bvinegi/productos/historicos/2104/702825222352/702825222352_4.pdf|language=es|location=Mexico|publisher=INEGI|isbn=970-13-1494-8}}</ref>
