You can now download shapefiles of selected geographic areas from the latest INEGI SCINCE database. In addition to geospatial information on state and municipios, the files include AGEB and manzana boundaries. The files are available in shapefile format and include demographic data
If you don’t know how to run the script or prefer to simply download the data, you can subscribe to my newsletter (one email per post) and you’ll get the shapefile download links directly in your inbox as a bonus.
If you use linux you can use the following script (or if you’re unable to run the script you can always use the docker image)
1 | docker run -v "$(pwd)/scince_2020":/scince_2020 diegovalle/scince_2020
