Taos Demographics

Because we were in Arboles for so long, I’m now very interested in demographic facts.  So here goes.  Taos population is 4,700, the median age is 41, and for every 100 females there are 85 males.  Artists have always been attracted to Taos for some reason and in 1900 the Taos Artist Community was founded.  There are tons of galleries in town, although most of them are not awesome.  Taos is also home to the oldest Pueblo in the US; which was totally hounded by the Spanish raiders, meddled with by missionaries, and has been the backdrop of numerous bloody battles.  There’s been bad blood for years between the Native Americans and Whites.  So it’s no wonder we're having such a hard time involved in the Native American music community.
