About this New Mexico directory
How New Mexico places are defined and measured.
This directory lists every place the US Census Bureau tabulates in New Mexico, ranked from the largest to the smallest by population. Incorporated cities, towns and villages appear alongside census-designated places (CDPs) — unincorporated communities that have no local government of their own but are counted separately because they have a recognised name and settled population. The suffix in each name ("city", "town", "village", "CDP") is the Census legal/statistical description, which is why you will see entries such as "Albuquerque city".
The largest place in New Mexico is Albuquerque city with 562,488 residents, and the 527 places on this page hold 1,816,508 people between them. Median household income across the listed places runs from $10,921 to $250,001, and median home values range from $9,999 to $2,000,001 — a spread that shows how much local housing markets diverge inside a single state.
Every figure comes from the American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year five-year estimates, which average survey responses over sixty months. That averaging is what makes small towns measurable at all, but it also means the numbers describe the period as a whole rather than today. Blank cells are estimates the Census suppressed because the local sample was too small to publish reliably. Select any place to open its full profile with affordability ratios, poverty and homeownership rates, and links to nearby communities of similar size.

Reading this New Mexico list
What the New Mexico numbers actually show.
New Mexico is a one-centre state: Albuquerque city alone holds 31% of everyone on this page, and the runner-up, Las Cruces city, is only 112,612 people. Rankings here mostly measure distance from that single core. These are mostly very small areas — the median place counts 458 residents. Rankings at the bottom of this list are within each other's margin of error, so treat close positions as ties.
Buying is a little easier here than nationally: New Mexico's median place shows $187,000 in home value on $56,250 of income, a ratio of 3.3 against 3.9 across the country. Median gross rent runs $876 including utilities, or about 19% of median household income annually.
Incomes fan out sharply inside New Mexico. Strip the outliers and the top-decile place still earns 3.86× the bottom-decile one ($112,500 against $29,142); include them and Fort Wingate CDP tops the list at $250,001 and Nageezi CDP anchors the bottom at $10,921. A single "New Mexico average" is averaging across two different economies.
Blanks dominate the small end of this list: 35% of New Mexico's 527 places — 186 rows — have at least one estimate the Census withheld for sample-size reasons. Treat the published subset as the usable dataset here, not as a complete census of the state.
Questions people ask
Specific to New Mexico.
How many places does New Mexico have? 527 appear in the current federal tabulation, counting incorporated cities, towns and villages together with census-designated places — unincorporated communities with no local government of their own. 70% of them have fewer than a thousand residents, so the list is far longer than the number of towns you would recognise by name.
Which New Mexico row should I compare mine against? Not the state median — it is pulled by the New Mexico core. Compare against places in the same population band, which for most of this list means the entries below the top ten.
How current is this? Every figure comes from the American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year release published by the US Census Bureau, ACS 2019-2023 5-year estimates. It reflects the full survey window rather than a single date, and it is the most recent vintage available for places this small.
