The CDC SVI flags household composition (83th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 46th-percentile score. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was fire-related (SOUTH FORK FIRE, SALT FIRE, AND FLOODING, 2024).

New residents arriving here predominantly come from Santa Fe County, NM (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: fair market rent of $990 for a two-bedroom and a median home value of $167,600. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

What these numbers say together
Ojo Caliente, NM (ZIP 87549) sits in Rio Arriba County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Annual Checkup comes in above the national average at 70.6%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $4,067. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $74,166, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Local establishments report average pay of $34,195 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $48,908 per worker, roughly 25% below the US average. The CDC SVI flags household composition (83th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 46th-percentile score. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was fire-related (SOUTH FORK FIRE, SALT FIRE, AND FLOODING, 2024). Annual precipitation averages just 11.7" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. County Health Rankings reports 21,299 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. 38.2% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. New Mexico levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 5.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $74,166 would pay roughly $2,625/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Santa Fe County, NM (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: fair market rent of $990 for a two-bedroom and a median home value of $167,600. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
Both surfaces skew lighter than national averages. That isn’t a verdict — small-area estimates compress real neighborhood-level texture, and a single ZIP reading can miss a district line or a hospital corridor sitting just outside it. Treat this as a starting point for fieldwork, not a conclusion.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 19.8%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
