Hidalgo
6.6
High score (8-10)
Lordsburg sits on I-10 and the old Southern Pacific rail line, and the county runs right up to the Mexican border near Antelope Wells. Tiny population but the border crossing and truck traffic mean constant through-movement.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Hidalgo County has around 4,500 people and Lordsburg is the only real town. The Gila area to the north draws hikers and birders. The social fabric is almost entirely local Hispanic ranching families. An outsider on I-10 can get a meal but doesn't have much to work with socially.
Lower score (below 6)
This is the emptiest corner of the Bootheel of New Mexico — sparse population, border security presence, and no social infrastructure to speak of. The county is economically distressed and the town of Lordsburg has been declining for decades. Hard skip.
