Rio Rancho as the New Dallas

This from New West Network:

Speaking of in-migration, Rio Rancho, New Mexico is about to bump Santa Fe down a notch in the largest cities category. The sprawling suburb on the north[w]est edge of Albuquerque is waiting for the official count before proclaiming itself the third largest city in the state, behind Albuquerque and Las Cruces. That would put Santa Fe down to number four. Earlier this year the city of Albuquerque took offense when an Albuquerque Journal reporter mentioned that Albuquerque may become the Fort Worth to Rio Rancho’s Dallas.

One thought on “Rio Rancho as the New Dallas”

  1. I guess I’ve driven through Rio Rancho on my way to Albuquerque, but I didn’t realize there was any there, there. It is actually a city? with a center?
