- US Census Bureau (ACS): Mexican-born population by state and PUMA
- CONAPO: Migration intensity index
- INEGI (ENIGH, Census, ICMM): Household demographics and income

## Caveats

- The most recent calendar year is partial until all four quarters publish.
  Check /api/v1/meta before computing year-over-year changes.
- Banco de Mexico revises past quarters, so totals shift slightly between pulls.
- US state-of-origin figures come from a different Banco de Mexico product than
  the Mexican state and municipal figures, so the two sides of the corridor can
  end on different periods.
