Cannon AFB, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Cannon AFB CDP is a small town in New Mexico, with 2,876 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #64 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 22.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Cannon AFB CDP earn a median of $67,132 a year, 14.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% above the $54,029 median for the 153 New Mexico cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cannon AFB CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,272 a month, 9.5% below the national figure, or roughly $15,264 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 22.8 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

The Census withheld home value for Cannon AFB 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.
