Acomita Lake, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Acomita Lake CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 649 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #213 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 37.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Acomita Lake CDP earn a median of $81,797 a year, 4.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 51% above the $54,029 median for the 153 New Mexico cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 14.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Acomita Lake CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not. With 649 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Acomita Lake CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Acomita Lake CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
