Isleta, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Isleta CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 909 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #166 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 47.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Isleta CDP earn a median of $37,224 a year, 52.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% below the $54,029 median for the 153 New Mexico cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 15.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Isleta CDP is valued at $159,900, 47.3% below the national figure and 16% below the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 91.4% 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.

With 909 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Isleta CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Isleta 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.
