Wagon Mound, NM population, income and ZIP codes

Wagon Mound village is a very small community in New Mexico, with 587 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #231 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 62.3 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 Wagon Mound village is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $611 a month, 56.5% below the national figure, or roughly $7,332 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 72.5% 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.

The Census withheld home value for Wagon Mound village 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.
