Boles Acres, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Boles Acres CDP is a small town in New Mexico, with 1,967 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #95 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 52.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Boles Acres CDP earn a median of $65,673 a year, 16.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% above the $54,029 median for the 153 New Mexico cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 11.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Boles Acres CDP is valued at $194,500, 35.9% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 95.2% 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.

A median age of 52.2 puts Boles Acres CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

The Census withheld gross rent for Boles Acres 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.
