I’d strongly recommend spending extended time here before making a permanent move. NM can be a great place to live or a horrible place to live depending on the person and what they want in life. It’s very different from a lot of states
It’s not dangerous. The only danger is you lose any sense of direction in life and become a 50 year old adolescent getting drunk every night at house parties.
We're gonna need more context to answer your question. Are you gonna live in the international district(also called the war zone) neighborhood of Albuquerque? Or in Los Alamos? If you're gonna live in an average middle to upper middle class neighborhood, it's as safe as anywhere in the country.
You know I will say it does have a lot of crime but I think that's small crime that is more like petty theft and that's the reason why people think that such a crime field state which I won't say that's not but it's definitely not how people say. But then again you have people naked on top of a bumble bee statue..... But other than that it's a great place.
I moved to Eastern NM from Texas and I love it! Pay is better than I have ever made in Texas. Low cost of living for the most part and less shifty Texas laws and politicians.
Just moved here two months ago and have had no crime whatsoever happen to me, I live in the east side of ABQ. Closest it felt was there was a double homicide a quarter mile away stemming from a drug deal. Honestly all the crime that happens is drug related. New Mexico gets a bad rep for its homeless, drug, and criminal populations but I honestly believe it’s because New Mexico is focusing on these issues while other states put it on the back burner. It’s a beautiful state with beautiful country, everybody is super nice here (walked into jiffy lube on Saturday and everyone was talking to each other like it was happy hour lol) the food is amazing and the culture here is present everywhere. I would advise to do some research on what neighborhood you move into as I’ve heard stories where people accidentally move into the war zone and that is definitely a no bueno area. Best of luck!

No. Gargoyles and dogs on duty

How about Belen?
Los Lunas is a better place I think. Grew up there, I'm in Tennessee currently but my fam still lives there. We visit 2 to 3 times a year.

Never had a problem. Lived in Albuquerque for over 10 years and southern NM for 25. Always have had great dogs though.

Hence the good dogs

Move, don't move, whatever. I think it's pretty dumb to move anywhere without a plan. If you don't telework, do not come here without a job lined up.
Thank you for the concern, my job supports my jumps. They got me from MI to GA lol so I am plenty good and supported
