Deming city, NM in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Deming city is a mid-size town in New Mexico, with 14,735 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #16 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 37 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Deming city earn a median of $35,920 a year, 54.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% 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 26.2% 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 Deming city is valued at $112,800, 62.8% below the national figure and 41% below the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $596 a month, 57.6% below the national figure, or roughly $7,152 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
