What it’s like
The place. Edgewood is a small town in Santa Fe County where almost everyone lives in a home they own, and incomes run somewhat above the county's. Residents are younger than in many small towns, and about as many have a four-year degree as not. Winters are cold, with highs that stay well below freezing in the coldest weeks, and summers are warm without being hot.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, the building trades and government. Walmart, Pecos Cyber Academy and Smiths Food And Drug are among the largest workplaces in town. The commute is a long one for many people, and a good number work from home instead.
Things to do. In or beside town, the American Vaudeville Museum is a museum worth a visit. A short drive away are Wildlife West Nature Park, a zoo, and Tinkertown Museum, another museum. A longer drive brings you to Sandia Cave, an archaeological site.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Edgewood’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Santa Fe County and the Santa Fe, NM metro.
