Is New Mexico really that bad of a state?

[fdub]

Watching different YouTube videos and it keeps saying New Mexico is one of the poorest states in the USA. Is it really that bad? Also, I was hearing about the crime being terrible and lack of resources. Anyone here been to NM or live there that can explain if this is true?

NM is pretty bad but that's because it is a very rural state with limited tax revenue.

New Mexico is beautiful. Like a mix of Colorado and Arizona but with less people.

Santa Fe is awesome. Albuquerque isn’t somewhere you want to be though.

I've heard the medical system there isn't the best.

I like in Arizona and was thinking about moving to NM to save some $$$ due to cost of living and someone told me I was better off moving to El Paso Tx.
