Luna
7.5
High score (8-10)
Deming is a small border town on I-10 best known for its green chile and its Great American Duck Race — neither of which is code for social opportunity. The county is poor and the population is mostly older retired Anglos and local Hispanic families.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Luna County has around 25,000 people with Deming as the center. The Columbus border crossing with Mexico is here and there's some cross-border commerce. The social scene is limited — some bars, the Columbus Historical Museum type of tourist draw — but the overall energy is quiet and the dating pool is very small.
Lower score (below 6)
Deming is economically stagnant and has one of the higher poverty rates in New Mexico. The downtown is quiet and the social infrastructure is minimal. The proximity to the border creates some tension and the area has seen smuggling traffic. Not a place with social upside for an outsider.
