Health Indicator Report of New Mexico Population - Median Household Income

Income is strongly related to health status. Low-income persons tend to have poorer health status, in part because they cannot always afford good health care. However, some people have low income levels because chronic mental or physical illness limits their ability to complete educational goals and/or earn a good income.
