The Census Bureau reports that the community of Hobbs, was the second fastest-growing in New Mexico from 2012 to 2013. Hobbs and other communities in southeastern New Mexico’s oil-rich Permian Basin are enjoying significant population growth in large part because of increased oil production from advances in drilling technologies.
