Map of Mexico with Puebla highlighted
Puebla is a state in central Mexico that is divided into 217 municipalities . According to the 2020 Mexican census , it is the fifth most populated state with 6,583,278 inhabitants and the 21st largest by land area spanning 34,309.6 square kilometres (13,247.0 sq mi).[ 1] [ 2]
Municipalities in Puebla are administratively autonomous of the state according to the 115th article of the 1917 Constitution of Mexico .[ 3] Every three years, citizens elect a municipal president (Spanish: presidente municipal ), by a plurality voting system, who heads a concurrently elected municipal council (ayuntamiento ) which is responsible for providing all the public services for their constituents. The municipal council consists of a variable number of trustees and councillors (regidores y síndicos ).[ 4] Municipalities are responsible for public services (such as water and sewerage), street lighting, public safety, traffic, and the maintenance of public parks, gardens and cemeteries.[ 5] They may also assist the state and federal governments in education, emergency fire and medical services, environmental protection and maintenance of monuments and historical landmarks. Since 1984, they have had the power to collect property taxes and user fees , although more funds are obtained from the state and federal governments than from their own income.[ 5]
The largest municipality by population is Puebla , with 1,692,181 residents (25.70% of the state's total), while the smallest is San Miguel Ixitlán with 526 residents.[ 1] The largest municipality by land area is Chiautla which spans 804.20 km2 (310.50 sq mi), and the smallest is Rafael Lara Grajales with 4.10 km2 (1.58 sq mi).[ 2] The newest municipality is Ahuehuetitla , established in 1963.[ 6]
