Socorro residents have chosen the location not only for its small town quality of life (Socorro County has a population of 18,177) but also for the sense of community pride and spirit, low crime rate, and low cost of living. Socorro has the “Home Sweet Home” feeling you’ve been looking for – everyone from young families to retired couples find that it is an ideal place to call home.
