About These Figures
A parcel counts as out-of-state when the owner mailing address on the county’s own assessment roll lists a valid two-letter US state or territory different from New Mexico. Bernalillo County qualifies for this page because 99.9% of its parcels carry a usable mailing state — counties below 90% coverage are not published, because a rate computed from a fraction of parcels misleads. Blank addresses, placeholders, and non-US addresses (Canadian provinces, mostly) are excluded from both sides of the rate. See the methodology for how records are processed.
