The local population preserves traditions through educational fairs, community programs, and celebrations that reflect Portuguese, African, and indigenous influences.

The municipality maintains a network of health facilities, including the Unidade Hospitalar São Francisco de Assis, which provides emergency services to residents.

The city houses manufacturing facilities of international companies like Peugeot-Citroën and Coca-Cola Femsa while maintaining agricultural production of corn and sugarcane.
