North Albuquerque

Community Planning Area (CPA) Assessment

About

Stretching from I-25 to the west and Eubank Boulevard to the east, the North Albuquerque CPA is characterized by breathtaking views of the Sandia Mountains and its high desert setting. This CPA has been developed primarily as low-density, large lot subdivisions, with retail and institutional uses along its major corridors. Residents living within this part of the city are within close proximity of beautiful parks and are just a short trip away from a variety of recreational activities available in the foothills of the Sandias. The maps and data below provide an overview of some of the key information and metrics for the North Albuquerque CPA.

The City of Albuquerque’s Community Planning Area (CPA) assessment process will work with residents and businesses throughout the city to describe what is working or not working in different parts of town and talk about how to enhance what is going right. We hope that community members will take ownership of the process and use the data on this page to guide conversations about future development, revitalization, and growth.


Demographics

Albuquerque is home to a diverse and growing population, and every CPA has its own distinct mix of people. Let's get to know North Albuquerque residents a little better.


Community Assets

Albuquerque has a diverse history and culture, reflected in the public facilities; parks, open space, and trails; transportation network; and heritage sites and resources.


Transportation

Connections between the places that residents live, work, play, and learn is key to enhancing quality of life. 


Community Health

How our communities grow and change has long term environmental, quality of life, and public health impacts. Growth patterns also affect our long-term ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions, as well as the resilience and sustainability of our community.


Land Use and Development

Each CPA has unique assets, development patterns, businesses, and industries that contribute to the character of its neighborhoods, provide employment, and offer goods and services to residents and visitors. 

There are a number of different ways that the City can help support economic development. See this  Economic Development Incentives map  for more information about some of these resources.


The first assessment in the North Albuquerque CPA will take place in 2027.

The City of Albuquerque has 12 Community Planning Areas (CPAs).Between 2021 and 2027, City staff and local communities are working together to gather data, inventory assets, and create an action plan for each CPA. The assessment process will help figure out what each community needs and how to get there. Visit the  CPA website  for more information
