Who settled the Bajío: 2,600 years told from its cities
The Bajío has filled up and emptied out more than once. Preclassic farmers settled it first; around the year 1000 they abandoned it; silver and wheat repopulated it in the 16th century; by 1803 it was the densest region of New Spain. Today León, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí and Aguascalientes are home to more than five million people, and the order among them is shifting.

Where the Bajío lives in the United States
Texas is the first destination for migrants from all four Bajío states: it holds about 44% of their consular ID cards, double its share among Mexicans as a whole. San Luis Potosí sends two out of three there; Aguascalientes spreads across Texas, California, Illinois, Colorado and Oklahoma.

San Luis Potosí in Texas: Houston or Dallas, depending on the municipality
Two out of three migrants from San Luis Potosí live in Texas. Inside Texas they split almost evenly between the Houston and Dallas consular districts, and the municipality of origin decides which: the capital and its neighbours go to Dallas, the Zona Media to Houston.
