New Mexico’s 33 counties, by the numbers

Every county’s population, median household income, unemployment, density, and land area — sortable by any column, so you can find yours or rank by what matters to you. A few patterns run through the data:

  • Concentrated. Half of New Mexico’s 2,114,371 residents live in just 4 of 33 counties, and the five largest hold 62.9% of the total. Census PEP 2023
  • Income tracks poverty. The gap from richest to poorest runs 3.8×, and the 10 highest-income counties average 14.8% in poverty against 23.7% for the 10 lowest. Census SAIPE 2023
  • Mostly small. Half of New Mexico’s counties have fewer than 26,668 residents, and half report a median household income below $51,111 — a few metros lift the statewide totals well above both. Census PEP 2023 · SAIPE 2023
  • Lopsided density. Only 8 of 33 counties are denser than New Mexico’s statewide average of 17 people per square mile — the rest are more rural. Census PEP 2023 · TIGER
