Map of Mexico with Mexico City highlighted

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, the seat of the Powers of the Union, and the capital of Mexico.<ref name="cdmx">Template:Cite web</ref> Thus, Mexico City is not organized into 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 Template:Convert, and the smallest is Iztacalco, with Template:Convert.<ref name=Landarea />

The most recent boroughs are Benito Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, Miguel Hidalgo, and Venustiano Carranza, all established in 1970 out of the former circumscription of Mexico City.<ref name=dates>Template:Cite book</ref>
