ZIP code 87711

ZIP 87711 is a very small community in San Miguel County, New Mexico, with 821 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #195 of 372 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 30.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for ZIP 87711 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.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 87711 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
