• The population is expected to increase an estimated 40% within the next 25 years.  In 2005, an estimated 1.92 million people were living in the state, with the fastest growth in the southern region.
• A technology corridor runs through the mid-section of the state, from the Santa Teresa/Las Cruces area in the south to Los Alamos in the North.  Institutions along the corridor include Sandia National Laboratories, Intel, White Sands Missile Range, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and many others.
