White Rock CDP, NM in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
White Rock CDP is a mid-size town in New Mexico, with 5,568 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #44 of 527 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 41.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in White Rock CDP earn a median of $150,714 a year, 91.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 179% 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 1.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in White Rock CDP is valued at $460,100, 51.6% above the national figure and 142% above the $190,000 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 99.6% 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 gross rent for White Rock 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.
