Des Moines village, NM in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Des Moines village is a very small community in New Mexico, with 92 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #417 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 20% of them. The median age here is 46.2 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 Des Moines village earn a median of $60,938 a year, 22.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% above the $54,029 median for the 153 New Mexico cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
