Cloudcroft Profile


Overview

Cloudcroft is a tiny village located in the state of New Mexico. With a population of 777 people and just one neighborhood, Cloudcroft is the 123rd largest community in New Mexico.

Occupations and Workforce

Because occupations involving physical labor dominate the local economy, Cloudcroft is generally considered to be a blue-collar town. 45.85% of the Cloudcroft workforce is employed in blue-collar occupations, compared to the national average of 27.7%. Overall, Cloudcroft is a village of construction workers and builders, professionals, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Cloudcroft who work in food service (11.19%), teaching (9.03%), and healthcare (7.94%).

Setting & Lifestyle

Another notable thing is that Cloudcroft is a major vacation destination. Much of the village’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Cloudcroft’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

The village is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Cloudcroft has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Cloudcroft a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

Cloudcroft is a small village, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
