numbers can be deceiving-the stats don't look bad here for a lot of categories....but I lived in T or c for 7 yrs...maybe the air is clean in regard to normal industrial pollutants and ozone, but the wind blows almost 8 months steady during the year-and it's blowing silt except during fire season, and then you can get "chipolte" silt. there is a very big meth problem, several heinous murders during the time i was there. The sidewalks roll up way before 8 p.m. (many places closing at 5). the jobs that are there pay such a low wage that many people (like me) end up stuck there long after they want to move away. The water is drying up and so Elephant Butte Lake is very low which has hurt the area on all levels....It's a strange town with a strange history; you should know that Geronimo cursed it...and whether you are superstitious or not, there is definitely something off in this town
