Abstract

The report characterizes Union County as a predominantly ranching region whose prosperity depended heavily on cattle production, weather conditions, and agricultural markets. Despite relatively high per-capita incomes compared with many New Mexico counties, the county faced persistent challenges including population decline, limited industrial diversification, and shrinking employment opportunities.
