Kennedy Torres best-worst Mar 24, 2025

Been meaning to ask this. I relocated for work and The unemployment rate is 4.2%, which is about average. Household incomes average around $65,691 in Hobbs. Median household income is $65,691, which feels about average for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Hobbs sits at 673.1 per 100K. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Thoughts? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
