Population Non-Hispanic American Indian % by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — New Mexico

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest concentrations of Non-Hispanic American Indian population, exceeding 50% and reaching near 100%, are heavily clustered in the northwestern quadrant of New Mexico, corresponding to the Navajo Nation and surrounding tribal lands, with additional elevated pockets in north-central areas likely aligned with Pueblo communities along the Rio Grande corridor. The southeastern and south-central portions of the state consistently register near 0–1%, reflecting minimal Native American population presence across the largely non-tribal plains and basin regions. A notable contrast exists in the central part of the state around the Albuquerque metro area, where zip codes transition sharply from moderate (5–20%) to very low percentages over short distances, illustrating the abrupt demographic boundary between urban and tribal-adjacent areas.
