Truth Or Consequences, NM — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a per-capita income of $47,929, ZIP code 87939 sits in middle-income territory — ahead of many rural New Mexico areas but short of the state's wealthier enclaves. That income pairs with a county-level effective property tax rate of 0.52%, which is gentle on homeowners, and a combined sales tax rate of 4.88%, among the lower totals you'll find statewide. Together these figures mean residents near Truth Or Consequences keep a decent share of what they earn, since neither the property levy nor the sales tax takes an outsized bite.
