The document addresses the issue of the migration originated in the different regions and municipalities of the state of Mexico and which destiny is the United States of America, during the period 1995-2000. The study applies the migration gravitational model and it extends incorporating a number of variables such as: Gini´s inequality quotient the human development index and the marginalization index, both aimed to verify if such magnitudes contribute to the explanation of the influx heading to the above country. The presence of these variables is justified because they make reference to the disparity of the income distribution and the supply and availability of some public goods. The analysis takes into account the 18 regions and the 122 municipalities in which the State of Mexico is politically and administratively divided during the referred period. This study applies cross section econometrics to establish multiple correlation relations between the involved variables. As a result some quantification explaining the influx in the second half of the 90´s are offered and some recommendations about politics are distinguished.
