Pinehill, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Pinehill CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 466 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #261 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 33.7 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 Pinehill CDP earn a median of $32,167 a year, 59% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% below 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 38.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pinehill CDP is valued at $95,800, 68.4% below the national figure and 50% below the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $604 a month, 57% below the national figure, or roughly $7,248 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.5% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 18.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 466 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Pinehill CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
