Los Cerrillos, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Los Cerrillos CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 115 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #408 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 71.1 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 Los Cerrillos CDP earn a median of $39,542 a year, 49.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below the $54,029 median for the 153 New Mexico cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 7.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Los Cerrillos CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 13.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.

A median age of 71.1 puts Los Cerrillos CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 115 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Los Cerrillos CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Los Cerrillos 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.
