What’s behind Holloman AFB’s civic life grade

Holloman AFB isn’t graded on civic life: it’s unincorporated, so its nonprofits can’t be counted reliably (mailing addresses don’t follow its boundary), it has no public library of its own and the volunteering estimate doesn’t cover enough of it.

Civic lifeA character grade: shown, never part of Holloman AFB’s overall grade.
–Library visitsNo public library of its own, so there is no town figure–Community nonprofitsUnincorporated: nonprofits are filed by mailing address, which doesn’t follow its boundary–VolunteeringThe volunteering estimate covers too little of Holloman AFB

Civic life counts registered nonprofits, library visits and online volunteering groups, so it can miss civic life that runs through congregations, mutual aid or neighbors looking out for each other.

Library visits: IMLS Public Libraries Survey, FY2024. Nonprofits: IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File, October 2026. Volunteering: Social Capital Atlas (Opportunity Insights), from data by Meta Platforms, Inc.; Chetty et al., Nature 2022. How TownRatings grades civic life →

How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

From the Public Libraries Survey, fiscal year 2024.

  • The library’s own count. Libraries report their own visits, loans and programs. A library that didn’t respond keeps its address and hours here, with no numbers.

Hours are the survey’s yearly average; libraries are compared with others serving about as many people. How TownRatings uses library figures →
