Lemitar, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Lemitar CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 432 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #274 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 24 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 Lemitar CDP earn a median of $92,201 a year, 17.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 71% above 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 6.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lemitar CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 24 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 432 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lemitar CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Lemitar 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.
