Fort Wingate, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Fort Wingate CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 451 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #268 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 49% of them. The median age here is 34.2 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 Fort Wingate CDP earn a median of $250,001 a year, 218.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 363% above 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.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fort Wingate CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,088 a month, 22.6% below the national figure, or roughly $13,056 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 5.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 15.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld home value for Fort Wingate 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.
