Mora CDP, NM in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Mora CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 518 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #246 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 42.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Mora CDP earn a median of $69,063 a year, 12.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% above 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 8.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Mora CDP is valued at $213,600, 29.6% below the national figure and 12% above the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84.3% 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 518 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Mora CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Mora 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.
