With a population of over 2 million people, New Mexico ranks as the 36th-most populated state, but covers 121,356 square miles of land making it the fifth-largest state in terms of area. What is the name of the most-populated city in this sparsely-populated state?

Albuquerque has a population of roughly 564,000 making it the largest city in the state of New Mexico with the next largest city coming in at roughly 102,000. Due to its large amount of space and relatively few residents, New Mexico has an average population density of 17 people per square mile.
