Best answer: It has rich soil and a mild climate for farming.
Explanation: The Central Mexican Plateau has moderate elevations that give a temperate climate and fertile volcanic soils, which supported agriculture, early settlement, and the growth of large cities (e.g., Mexico City). Over time it also became the nation's political and industrial center, further concentrating population. The other options are incorrect: it is not especially close to the U.S. border, and its cost of living is not notably lower than the tropical coast.
