That is the most since comparable records began being kept in 1997, including the peak year of Mexico's drug war in 2011.
The Interior Ministry previously reported 29,168 homicides for 2017.
Data from the statistics institute is seen as more thorough, since INEGI visits morgues and public registries to collect information. The Interior Ministry counts homicide investigations that could involve multiple victims, thus potentially underrepresenting killings.
INEGI said the homicide rate last year broke down to 25 per 100,000 inhabitants — near the levels of Brazil and Colombia at 27 per 100,000. Mexico's rate was 20 per 100,000 people in 2016.

That is a way low number.There must be a reason for countries to keep their numbers low like our US cities do.
They're moving northward, bringing those numbers with them. But who needs a border, right?
It doesn't count the people who got boiled away in acid or thrown in the ocean, or cut up in pieces for dogs.
No body? No statistic.
Add another 5000. Maybe 10.
AND shoot for open borders, too??
Liberals want us to believe that ONLY the smartest ones will come here. Doctors and engineers. Architects. Computer geniuses.
No.
We will get the killers and gang bangers and OUR homicide rate will be JUST LIKE THEIRS.
Keep cheering.
