List of New Mexico counties by socioeconomic factors

This list of New Mexico counties by socioeconomic factors is taken from the "Quick Facts" web pages of the United States Census Bureau and the Population Health Institute of the University of Wisconsin. All data listed is for 2020, unless otherwise stated.

Although some New Mexico counties exceed the U.S. average in positive socioeconomic factors, most New Mexico counties are below the U.S. average. The statistics in the following table show that New Mexico has a lower per capita and household income than the national average. The state has a lower rate of population growth, a less educated population as measured by the percentage of people with bachelor's or higher degrees compared to the national average, and higher rates of people in poverty and people without health insurance than the U.S. as a whole. New Mexico has an Hispanic majority population although many counties have a non-Hispanic white majority or plurality of population. Two counties have a Native American (Indian) plurality in their population. The state's vote for the Democratic candidate in the 2020 presidential election exceeded that of the Republican candidate.

The 2020 census is a snapshot of New Mexico's population. Depending upon the methodology used and the time of measurement, socioeconomic statistics cited change slightly from year to year, especially in counties with small populations where, for example, the gain or loss of a major employer may result in a change in measurements of poverty, population growth, income, and other factors.
