Dixon, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Dixon CDP is a small town in New Mexico, with 1,551 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #115 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 38.1 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 Dixon CDP earn a median of $43,148 a year, 45.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 40.9% 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 Dixon CDP is valued at $362,300, 19.4% above the national figure and 91% above the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 8.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 74% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Home values sit at 8.4× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

The Census withheld gross rent for Dixon 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.
