Married Couple (% of all Households) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — New Mexico

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in the northwestern quadrant of New Mexico—particularly across the Navajo Nation and surrounding tribal lands—display some of the lowest married-couple household rates, frequently falling below 30%, while rural and suburban zip codes along the eastern border and in the southern Rio Grande corridor tend to cluster in the 50–70% range. The Albuquerque metro area exhibits sharp internal variation, with core urban zip codes in the 30–40% range contrasting with outer suburban areas exceeding 60%. Several small, isolated zip codes in the southeast and along the southern border reach the highest values on the scale (above 75%), likely reflecting tight-knit rural and agricultural communities with older demographic profiles.
