Tajique CDP, NM in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Tajique CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 156 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #381 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 27% of them. The median age here is 58.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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.

The typical owner-occupied home in Tajique CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Tajique CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography.
