On the central plateau and on the Acatic River, at 6,100 feet (1,860 metres) above sea level, Tepatitlán is an important agricultural, livestock-raising, commercial, and industrial centre. Corn (maize) and beans thrive in the temperate climate, as do cattle, pigs, and horses. Aviculture and apiculture are also practiced.

Tepatitlán is accessible by highway from Guadalajara, the state capital, to the west-southwest, and from Aguascalientes, the capital of Aguascalientes state, to the north-northeast. Pop.
