Glorieta, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Glorieta CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 559 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #237 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 39.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Glorieta CDP earn a median of $48,571 a year, 38.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% below 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 6.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Glorieta CDP is valued at $421,100, 38.8% above the national figure and 122% above the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 8.7×, 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. 53.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 8.7× 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. With 559 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Glorieta CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Glorieta 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.
