What stands out about how Encino is run
Read from the village’s budget and official records.
Vaughn Municipal Schools
Encino’s K–12 school district, shared with Vaughn. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $66,326 per pupil, $32,652 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
New Mexico districts overall: 17% local, 64% state, 20% federal.

No comparison or trend for Encino yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Encino’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only, so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.

New Mexico reports official results by county and precinct, not by village, so there are no official results for Encino alone, and we don’t estimate them. These are Torrance County’s results.
