The data set reveals distinct positions within the Bajío. Aguascalientes maintains lower revenues compared to Guanajuato, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, and Jalisco, although it retains an active productive structure. The state also registered expenses and assets that are below regional levels, as observed in comparison with states that concentrate a larger industrial volume.
