As of January 1, 2005, all of the incorporated area is located in Sandoval County.

In 2000, employment in the Village was approximately 1,000. Nearly 30 percent of the employment is in the services sector. About 200 jobs, 20 percent, were in the retail sector.

The warm days of summer are almost here. Don't leave your Earth Day outlook behind. Channel it to your vehicle. Have you ever noticed the bright little set of lights on your dash; the instrument cluster? They usually go on when you start the engine, but on occasion one stays on. This light is a special indicator called the Check Engine Light. It is a function of the vehicle's On-Board Diagnostic system that is required for vehicles newer than 1996. The Check Engine Light acts as a red flag to tell you when something goes wrong with the emissions and/or performance system of your vehicle. Like your heart-beat and respiration rate, the Check Engine Light tells you that your car or truck needs attention. Don't ignore it; it won't go out until you assess the problem. Sometimes it’s simple and inexpensive, but it can get worse and more costly the longer your vehicle operates in this condition. This summer is sure to be a hot one, meaning that we have more reason to be concerned about ground-level ozone or smog. Air pollution that is generated from vehicles, especially sick cars, impacts our health and environment. So make sure your vehicle is in tip-top condition. You’ll get better fuel economy and save money. Collectively, we’ll enjoy better air quality and your Earth Day attitude will be with you all year. ... from the Environmental Health Department, Air Quality Division.

The Village of Corrales is a small, treasured oasis located within a large, fast-growing
metropolitan area. The village is bordered on the east by the Rio
Grande and, across the river, by the Sandia Indian Reservation.
To the south is the City of Albuquerque while to the west and north
is the City of Rio Rancho. The greater metropolitan area numbers
well over a half million people, but Corrales, about 7300 in population,
aggressively strives to retain a rural lifestyle. Prehistoric sites
indicate the Corrales Valley has been occupied as early as 500
A.D. when the ancestors of the present-day Indian Pueblos derived
sustenance from the fertile valley. Subsequent populations, including
Hispanic, European and American families, settled here to raise
grapes, apples, and livestock. Today, Corrales
is distinguished by its broad green pastures and orchards, its
rich historic and artistic character, and of course the sounds
and scents of roosters, cows, horses and sheep. To cross the borders
into Corrales is to step into another time and place where the
stresses of twenty-first century life give way to the grace and
pace of another era.
