The biggest risk in CDMX is being robbed. One can be pickpocketed, assaulted on foot or in one’s car. E.g. if you have your iPhone to use Waze in your car and it’s visible, it’s possible to be forced to hand it over at gunpoint. They will probably tell you to open your trunk as well. This can be at stoplights, in congested traffic. High chances, no, but chances. Just checked with my family in CDMX yesterday.

And the State of Mexico is a hot spot. Mexico’s homicide rate is the highest it has been in 20ywars. .
