This high desert state is located at the tail end of the Rocky Mountains, with more than 300 days of sunshine per year, a cost of living that is 5 percent less than the national average, an international art market and opera house in Santa Fe, world-class skiing in Taos, and archeological and geological wonders throughout the state.
New Mexico also has a long rich history and strong rural base with a diverse ethnic and socioeconomic population including members from 19 Native American pueblos, the Jicarilla Apache Nation, Mescalero Apache tribe and the Navajo Nation.
