Los Lunas village, NM in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Los Lunas village is a mid-size town in New Mexico, with 17,932 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #13 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 37 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Los Lunas village earn a median of $63,696 a year, 18.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% 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 18.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Los Lunas village is valued at $232,700, 23.3% below the national figure and 22% above the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,157 a month, 17.7% below the national figure, or roughly $13,884 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
