Cibola County comprises the Grants, New Mexico Micropolitan Statistical Area.

21.10% of all households were made up of individuals, and 7.30% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

[15] Cibola County is home to three prisons: In November 2018, following a private autopsy, a unit of the Cibola County Correctional Center (CCCC) was named in the abuse and wrongful death on May 25, 2018, of Roxsana Hernández Rodríguez.

Democratic strength lies especially in the Acoma, Laguna, and Ramah Navajo Reservations.

Republican strength lies in Milan, Grants, and surrounding rural areas, as well as the southwestern portion of the county.

Kamala Harris was unable to gain a majority in the county, only winning through a narrow plurality of 49.57%.

This was due in part to the cities of Grants and Milan, which trended more Republican than in 2020, with every precinct giving Trump the majority (unlike in 2020, when much of central Grants voted majority Democratic).

This was the closest that any Republican presidential candidate has come to flipping the county since Reagan's time.

[22] At the state level, the only time it has voted for a Republican nominee for Governor was 2014, when Susana Martinez carried all but five counties in her reelection bid.
