% of Population on Food Stamps or SNAP (Last 12 Months), 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 those overlapping with tribal lands in the Navajo Nation and surrounding pueblos—display some of the highest SNAP participation rates, frequently exceeding 30–40%, while adjacent areas in the north-central region near Santa Fe and Los Alamos show markedly lower rates below 10%. The southern border region exhibits a patchwork pattern, with several zip codes near Las Cruces and the Doña Ana County corridor reaching 25–35% alongside neighboring areas with substantially lower enrollment. Urban zip codes in the Albuquerque metro area show significant intra-city variation, with some central and south-side codes at 20–30% contrasting sharply with near-zero rates in the northeast heights and Rio Rancho suburbs.
