Ruidoso, NM — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a per-capita income of $27,980, ZIP code 88351 sits in working-class territory, well below what many American households earn. Residents near Ruidoso shoulder a county property tax rate of 0.53%, which keeps annual bills low on assessed value, though incomes here are limited enough that even that rate matters. The combined sales tax of 4.88% adds a bit more to everyday purchases. Taken together, this ZIP pairs restrained earnings with a comparatively gentle tax structure, meaning housing costs stay contained but purchasing power remains tight for the households calling this part of New Mexico home.
