White Cliffs, NM population, income and ZIP codes

White Cliffs CDP is a very small community in New Mexico, with 610 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #224 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 29.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 White Cliffs CDP earn a median of $93,095 a year, 18.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 72% above the $54,029 median for the 153 New Mexico cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 9.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in White Cliffs CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $868 a month, 38.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,416 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 49.2% 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.

A median age of 29.6 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 610 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare White Cliffs CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for White Cliffs 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.
