Cimarron, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Cimarron village is a very small community in New Mexico, with 717 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #200 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 56.5 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 Cimarron village earn a median of $40,673 a year, 48.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% 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 10.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cimarron village is valued at $143,500, 52.7% below the national figure and 24% below the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $659 a month, 53.1% below the national figure, or roughly $7,908 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 56.5 puts Cimarron village 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 717 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Cimarron village against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
