Pecos village, NM in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Pecos village is a small town in New Mexico, with 1,145 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #144 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 38.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Pecos village earn a median of $69,327 a year, 11.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% above 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 10.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Pecos village is valued at $260,000, 14.3% below the national figure and 37% above the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $729 a month, 48.2% below the national figure, or roughly $8,748 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
