New Mexico is one of the fastest growing states in the U.S., with 1,903,289 residents in 2004. Most of the population growth is occurring in the Metropolitan areas of Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Las Cruces.
Albuquerque, located at the intersection of Interstate Highways 40 and 25 in central New Mexico, combines the very old with the highly contemporary.
