In ZIP code 87026, near Albuquerque, households bring in a median of $84,750 a year, while per-capita income sits at $29,153 — a gap that hints at larger households or multiple earners sharing one roof. County property taxes run at an effective 0.80% of home value, and the combined sales tax rate is 4.88%. With earnings at that level, housing costs tied to the property rate stay proportional, and the sales tax adds only a slim amount to everyday purchases. That mix leaves room for saving, debt payoff, or covering the essentials without stretching the paycheck too thin.
