Crystal, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Crystal CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 302 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #321 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 35.7 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 Crystal CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 29.8% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Crystal CDP is valued at $75,800, 75% below the national figure and 60% below the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 91.5% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 302 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Crystal CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Crystal 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.
