New Mexico-relative analysis
Among the 409 New Mexico cities PlainCities tracks with reported median gross rent data, Keeler Farm ranks #359 - the 0th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Keeler Farm only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.
