ZIP code 79835, near Las Cruces, sits in working-class territory: a median household income of $45,924 and per-capita income of $21,380 fall well below what affluent areas command. Homes here carry a median value of $109,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 2.03% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year.
