Pueblo of Acoma is home to 3,190 people, nearly all of them Native American.

The Acoma Pueblo, also known by the traditional name Haaku, has existed on this land for centuries.
This is designated as a PO Box Only Zone by USPS. That means there's no alternative mail delivery method anywhere in the service area. The post office maintains 490 PO Boxes for 859 occupied homes, giving an adoption rate of 57%. Families travel to the post office to pick up mail, packages, prescriptions, and government documents. Some rural route delivery exists on Pueblo lands, but PO Boxes remain the primary mail access point for most residents.
Household size here averages 3.71 people per home, higher than the national average of 2.5. Extended families living together are common in Pueblo communities. The median age is 35.2 years, and about 22% of the population is under 18. This is a working community with a median household income of $48,359.
Employment patterns show the importance of tribal and public administration work. About 563 workers are employed in public administration, making it the largest employment sector. Transportation and warehousing employ another 596 workers. Notably, 32.1% of workers work from home (137 people), likely due to the community's geographic setting and modern remote work opportunities.
Street names blend Pueblo, Spanish, and English influences. Haaku Road takes its name from the traditional Pueblo name for Acoma. Aatsaya Road and Pinsbaari Drive use Keres language words. Pueblo Road and Indian Road reference the community's identity. Other streets like Mockingbird Drive and Wild Horse Ranch Road use descriptive English names. This mix shows the layers of cultural and historical influence on the landscape.
The community uses several mailing name variations. The primary name is Pueblo of Acoma, but USPS also accepts "Pblo of Acoma" (added in May 2005) and simply "Acoma" (added in March 2010). A fourth name, Acomita, is recognized by the postal system but not valid for mailing. All acceptable addresses route to the same post office serving the Acoma Pueblo community.
Street names blend Pueblo language (Haaku, Aatsaya, Pinsbaari), English descriptions (Mockingbird, Wild Horse Ranch), and Spanish influences (Los Pilares, San Lorenzo).
