Twin Forks, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Twin Forks CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 304 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #320 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 58.8 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.

Households in Twin Forks CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 53.6% 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 Twin Forks CDP is valued at $243,800, 19.6% below the national figure and 28% above the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 58.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Twin Forks 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.
