Pojoaque, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Pojoaque CDP is a small town in New Mexico, with 2,274 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #79 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 38.4 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 Pojoaque CDP earn a median of $68,188 a year, 13.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% 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 12% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pojoaque CDP is valued at $154,300, 49.1% below the national figure and 19% below the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs $945 a month, 32.8% below the national figure, or roughly $11,340 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 68.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
