Capulin, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Capulin CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 79 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #431 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 18% of them. The median age here is 66.8 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 Capulin CDP earn a median of $34,808 a year, 55.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 36% below 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 6.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Capulin CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 63.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 66.8 puts Capulin 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. With 79 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Capulin CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Capulin 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.
