Abstract

The health- related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as pivotal benchmarks for gauging the health, well- being, and overall development of a nation’s populace. This study aims to meticulously scrutinize the available SDG indicators for the State of Mexico at the municipal level, employing sophisticated techniques rooted in exploratory spatial data analysis. The primary objective is to comprehensively grasp the interplay between these indicators and their geographic distribution. This analytical approach will unveil discernible patterns encompassing clustering, dispersion, spatial self- correlation, and other geographical trends within the selected indicators. Spatial autocorrelation, notably, plays a pivotal role in discerning similarities or disparities in values and their potential correlation with geographic proximity. This analysis serves to ascertain the existence of significant spatial patterns. To accomplish this, graphical tools like maps and diagrams will be utilized. These visual representations effectively convey geographical information, thereby facilitating the communication of findings. This methodology will be particularly invaluable in pinpointing vulnerable populations. Anticipated outcomes include robust findings that can substantially inform the development agendas and guide the implementation of public health policies within the Mexican entity.
