The Opportunity for Mobility Franchises in New Mexico
New Mexico is home to about 2.13 million people. Residents 65 and older make up about 20.3% of the state — roughly 430,000 people in 2024 — above the U.S. average of 18%. Total population is flat. Seniors are the growth cohort. UNM demographers project the 65-plus share near 23% by 2040, with the 85-plus population more than doubling.
About 27.7% of adults 65 and older reported falling in the past year. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among older New Mexicans. Adults with mobility difficulty fall at 44.5%. Adobe and single-level homes help, but casitas, split entries, and ranch steps still send families looking for stairlifts, ramps, and safer bathrooms.
That mix supports both verticals under one roof. The home-services team meets homeowners across Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Farmington, and Roswell. The showroom meets customers who need scooters and power chairs in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. Priority awards should land in those six markets. Every new Mobility Plus franchise includes both verticals. Honorably discharged veterans may qualify for a 10% discount on the $60,000 franchise fee.
