Summary/Abstract: The health-​­ related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as pivotal benchmarks forgauging the health, well-​­ being, and overall development of a nation’s populace. This studyaims to meticulously scrutinize the available SDG indicators for the State of Mexico at themunicipal level, employing sophisticated techniques rooted in exploratory spatial dataanalysis. The primary objective is to comprehensively grasp the interplay between theseindicators and their geographic distribution. This analytical approach will unveil discerniblepatterns encompassing clustering, dispersion, spatial self-​­ correlation, and other geographicaltrends within the selected indicators. Spatial autocorrelation, notably, plays a pivotalrole in discerning similarities or disparities in values and their potential correlation withgeographic proximity. This analysis serves to ascertain the existence of significant spatialpatterns. To accomplish this, graphical tools like maps and diagrams will be utilized. Thesevisual representations effectively convey geographical information, thereby facilitating thecommunication of findings. This methodology will be particularly invaluable in pinpointingvulnerable populations. Anticipated outcomes include robust findings that can substantiallyinform the development agendas and guide the implementation of public health policieswithin the Mexican entity.
