FARMINGTON â The percentage of children in San Juan County living in poverty rose 2.4 percent in 2014, according to data released Wednesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. In 2013, there were 9,332 children in San Juan County living in poverty, which is 27 percent of the general children population, according to the bureau's findings. In 2014, that population increased to 9,772 children, or 29.4 percent of the general population.
New Mexicoâs nearly 22% poverty rate also may have strained state and local public services. Like several other states with large shares of the labor force employed by state and local governments, just over 50% of the stateâs population 16 years and older had a job, one of the lowest proportions in the country.
