Population Data

{{class BlueText NOTE: September 2024. The population estimates that are currently on NM-IBIS and NMTracking web-based data systems are outdated. New population estimates will be coming soon. They have been delayed because of changes to the way the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Center for Health Statistics have been reporting their population data since the 2020 decennial census. Unfortunately, it takes several months for all the changes to trickle down through the federal and state systems. Population estimates from *2010 through 2023* will be updated with the newer, more accurate estimates. Rates calculated using the NM-IBIS and NMTracking web-based queries will be updated back to 2010 to reflect those changes. We apologize for the inconvenience.}}
