Tlacotepec in Puebla reflects the flat Puebla-Tlaxcala plateau agricultural corridor position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural and services character contributing modest local sources. The elevated plateau position aids dispersal on most days, while the Mexico City-Puebla metropolitan regional background influences the corridor and the area generally maintains moderate Mexican central plateau readings throughout most of the year.
