Municipal Geostatistical Area (AGEM)
It is the representation of the territorial extension integrated by each one of the country's municipalities and the territorial districts of Mexico City, which are defined by geostatistical limits that are close, where possible, to the political-administrative ones.

The total number of municipal geostatistical areas per state will be equal to the total number of its municipalities. Currently, there are 2,465 municipalities nationwide.

Within these areas, all the urban and rural localities that belong to each of the municipalities can be found.

[p. 44]

The geostatistical code of the municipal geostatistical areas is made up of three numbers that are assigned in ascending order starting with 001, in accordance with the alphabetical order of the names of the municipalities. Those areas created later are assigned the consecutive geostatistical code as the municipalities are created.

Example:

001: Armería.
002: Colima.
003: Comala.
010: Villa de Álvarez.

In the cartographic products, the representation of the municipal geostatistical area is delimited with alternating green lines and dots (- [dot] - [dot] - [dot] -).
