- Mexico City's boroughs
-
Mexico City — politically and administratively constituted as the Federal District — is divided into sixteen boroughs (Spanish: delegaciones) for administrative purposes. They constitute second-level administrative divisions, on par with the municipalities of Mexico. However, unlike municipalities, they do not have regulatory powers and are not fully autonomous in their internal administration. As of 2000, the citizens within a borough elect by plurality a head of government, known simply as "borough head" (Spanish: jefe delegacional). The DF recorded an official 2010 census tally of 8,851,080 inhabitants.[1]
