Luna County, NM

Deming, New Mexico has about 15,221 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $127,400.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Luna County is $1,014 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Deming. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

New Mexico's prices sit at 92.2 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

New Mexico taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 7.7% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Deming's exact store tax.

In July 2026, a typical New Mexico home paid 16.09¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Deming's bill.

EIA did not publish a 2025 all-grades gas price for New Mexico in the table we use.
