Methodology

Courts: the MeetAndPlay directory, which combines OpenStreetMap (data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0, snapshot of September 25, 2026) with places researched in public sources cited one by one, checked up to October 22, 2026.

Population: INEGI, 2020 Population and Housing Census, 126,014,024 inhabitants nationwide. 2020 census on inegi.org.mx (opens in a new tab)

We add up the padel, tennis and pickleball courts whose number a source publishes. Of the 1,790 places, 623 do not publish how many courts they have: they count as places but add no courts.

This is a floor, not a census: new and private clubs are under-recorded. Quintana Roo, where MeetAndPlay launched, has been checked by hand in more detail than the rest of the country, which may favour its position.
