Prewitt is a tiny town located in the state of New Mexico. With a population of 842 people and two associated neighborhoods, Prewitt is the 118th largest community in New Mexico.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.54% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Prewitt’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the nation, making it a very safe place to live.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Prewitt is worth considering.

Being a small town, Prewitt does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

Prewitt ranks among the bottom of the nation in terms of college education compared to other cities and towns: only 1.42% of people over 25 have a college degree.
