Here are the top 10 wealthiest ZIP codes in New Mexico based on available data like median household income, per-capita income, and other economic indicators (income tends to be the best measure of “wealthiest ZIPs” statewide):

1. 87730, NM (highest median household & per-capita income statewide) — often very high incomes compared to the NM median.

2. 88052, NM — another ZIP with very high median household income.

3. 87515, NM — top incomes beyond most areas in the state.

Notes on these rankings:

• ZIP codes like 87506 (Santa Fe area) may have extremely high property values and are among the most expensive in terms of real estate prices, but wealth rankings here are based more on household income data — a broader measure of economic wealth.

• Some rural ZIPs with very high incomes on paper (like 87730 or 88052) may have relatively small populations compared with urban ZIPs like 87122.
