Farmington area index 87.7, where 100 is the national average.
Farmington sits in northwest New Mexico near the Four Corners, where four states meet. The Animas River threads through town, and the iconic Shiprock formation rises on the horizon. It's a practical base for nurses who want quiet desert living, outdoor recreation, and a close-knit community feel without big-city pressures.
