New Mexico is a little too poor and "foreign" to attract many incomers.
Mostly just bohemians and the very wealthy move here.
Basically zero mass in-migration.
AZ is basically just a dry FL.

I love it but I guess I'm a bohemian.
Most either are repelled at first sight, or some think they would like it, move, and then leave within 2 years.
It's a known dynamic.

One thing I really like is the pronounced slowness. For being in the USA, its pretty darn slow.
Drives some people absolutely crazy however.
Like businesses aren't always open, or the "guy" you need isn't there.
Things get canceled when the weather is bad, etc.

Now the extremely wealthy love it.
An incredible percent of A list celebs, and other big time people have at least part time homes here.
The Epstein ranch where he was supposedly going to do eugenics was in NM, etc.
Look at Santa Fe Zillow, sort by "highest price." Nuts.

New Mexico also gets few CA-leaving migrants.
Most of them drive right on through while fleeing to somewhere else.
I guess a few settle around Silver City but CA migration is not a big thing to my knowledge.

Arizona is essentially a place where people go to live out their middle class dreams. A house in a good suburb, everything is new and clean.
No one comes to or stays in NM for those reasons.
It's not that sort of place. Next to AZ but *opposite* in many ways.
