Benito Juárez (La Monera)

In the municipality of Temixco there is a Benito Juárez that INEGI tells apart with a bracketed name: La Monera. It had 771 residents in 2020, up from 461 in 2005 and 594 in 2010, which makes it the seventh largest of the municipality's 42 localities. It sits at about 1,270 m, 6.3 km southwest of Temixco city (104,461 people) as the crow flies, in the semi-arid belt that drops from Cuernavaca toward Xochitepec.

The surroundings are closer to suburb than countryside. The Unidad Habitacional José María Morelos y Pavón, home to 11,805 people, is 1.8 km to the southwest; San Agustín Tetlama (2,124) is 2 km to the northwest; and under a kilometre away there is a Colonia Aeropuerto with its own fifth section. Nearly half the residents were born outside Morelos (43% in 2020), a sign that many families came here from other states. There are about 195 homes, almost all with electricity (100%), piped water (96%) and a mobile phone (95%), and 45% have internet.
