Financial Stress · New Mexico

New Mexico — financial stress by county

The Financial Stress Index (FSI) combines renter cost burden, eviction rate, and debt in collections into a 0–100 score. 18 of 33 New Mexico counties have all three inputs and receive a score. Because 15 counties are missing eviction data, no state-wide average is shown here — averaging across the reporting subset would be misleading. Socorro, NM has the highest score at 84.
