Mexico Conflict Events with Village-Level Geocoding and Daily Temporal Detail

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence in Mexico. Events are geo-coded down to the village level and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days, as described in the 2013 Journal of Peace Research article and the 2019 UCDP GED Codebook. The dataset is hosted on HDX and was last updated on 2026-04 03.

Use Cases

• Modeling conflict intensity and spread based on village-level geocoding.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of violence based on daily event durations.
• Conducting spatial risk assessments based on georeferenced event locations.
• Validating theoretical models of organized violence based on disaggregated event data.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded to the level of individual villages.
• Temporal durations are disaggregated to single, individual days.
• Dataset is described as UCDP's most disaggregated dataset for organized violence.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
