Querétaro
Querétaro, Mexico: the weather, the air, the distance to the coast and what a month costs, each with its source. This page assesses no one.
This page describes the destination for nobody in particular. Answer a few questions and each requirement is set against your own answers, with a monthly budget for your household. Your answers stay in the address bar of your browser; nothing is stored.

Each cell: average daily high, monthly mean, average daily low, in °C. These are averages of daily values over 2001–2020, not records — the hottest day is higher and is not shown.
How near the sea is
306.4 km
Straight-line distance from this city’s coordinates to the nearest coastline, computed from Natural Earth 1:10m Physical Vectors — Coastline (ne_10m_coastline) v5.1.2 at 1:10,000,000. Natural Earth is public domain, and anyone can download the same file and get the same number.
It is a distance and not an access. A city 8 km from the coast across a mountain ridge is not 8 km from the sea in any sense you would use, and the figure says nothing about what is on that coast — a container terminal and a bay give the same number. The coastline is the outline of the dataset’s land, so a river wide enough to separate land counts as coast.

A month here, for a reference household
Reference household: two adults aged 38 and 37, a one-bedroom home, no children.
Residence fees and health cover are those of Temporary residence visa (economic solvency). The low, middle and high figures are the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles where a publisher states them; each line says who published it.
illustrative Money figures on this page are illustrative unless the figure names its publisher. The illustrative ones are arranged so the shape is right — a larger flat costs more than a smaller one, and the expensive cities are the expensive ones — and they are accurate in nothing. Do not plan on them.

| Line | P25The lower quartile of the estimate range: a quarter of observations fall below it. Read it as the cheaper end of what is realistic, not as a bargain you can count on. | P50The middle of the estimate range: half the observations fall below it and half above. It is the figure to read first — not a promise, but the most representative single number we have. | P75The upper quartile of the estimate range: a quarter of observations fall above it. Budget against this one if you want room to be wrong. | Basis |

Cuotas «vigentes a partir del 1° de marzo de 2026». The price for a member aged 0 to 19 is 9,300 pesos a year; older members pay the price of their group. Read on the IMSS page as archived on 23 September 2026 (the live site blocks access from outside Mexico). The page states nothing about pre-existing conditions or waiting periods, and the Ley del Seguro Social could not be read here, so neither is modelled or claimed; nor does it say in terms whether a foreign resident's family may join beyond «las familias en México».This is the price the publisher charges, so there is no range: the low and high figures are the price itself.Published per year; shown per month (÷ 12). |
