Magdalena is a tiny village located in the state of New Mexico. With a population of 786 people and two associated neighborhoods, Magdalena is the 119th largest community in New Mexico. Magdalena has a large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic villages in the country.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 30.94% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Residents will find that the village is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Magdalena is worth considering.
