Edgewood is a somewhat small town located in the state of New Mexico. With a population of 6,117 people and three associated neighborhoods, Edgewood is the 36th largest community in New Mexico.
Also of interest is that Edgewood has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 14.21% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Edgewood is worth considering.
One downside of living in Edgewood is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Edgewood, the average commute to work is 33.80 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

The per capita income in Edgewood in 2022 was $34,164, which is upper middle income relative to New Mexico, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $136,656 for a family of four. However, Edgewood contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
