New Mexico's overall cost of living lands close to the national average - a Bureau of Economic Analysis regional price index of 92.2 against 100 nationally - which is what the starting estimate below is adjusted for, instead of a flat national default.

New Mexico taxes income at graduated rates up to about 5.9%.

That makes it the 37th most expensive state in the country by this measure, out of 51 - one more real number to weigh before deciding whether a new offer there actually keeps up.
