Hanover, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Hanover CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 276 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #324 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 31.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Hanover CDP earn a median of $32,194 a year, 59% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% 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 4.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hanover CDP is valued at $95,400, 68.6% below the national figure and 50% below the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 100% 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. 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.

With 276 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Hanover CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Hanover 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.
