Edgewood town, NM in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Edgewood town is a mid-size town in New Mexico, with 6,122 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #37 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 38.9 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 Edgewood town earn a median of $81,227 a year, 3.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 50% above the $54,029 median for the 153 New Mexico cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 8.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Edgewood town is valued at $278,100, 8.3% below the national figure and 46% above the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $938 a month, 33.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,256 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.9% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 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.

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.
