A small portion of the city extends into northern Bernalillo County. It is the third-largest and also one of the fastest expanding cities in New Mexico. As of the 2010 census, Rio Rancho had a population of 93,820.[3] Rio Rancho is part of the Albuquerque Metropolitan Statistical Area. HistoryThe great majority of Rio Rancho was originally part of the Town of Alameda Grant, which was founded by Spanish settlers in 1710. By the early 20th century, much of the land grant had been sold to land investment companies. Amrep Corporation purchased {{convert|55000|acre}} in 1961 and turned the land into a housing development called "Rio Rancho Estates", with the first families moving in the early 1960s. Amrep contracted with Ezio Valentini, one of the original developers of Cape Coral Florida, to design and implement a unique marketing plan to conduct land-sales, dinner-party program in northern states to open offices in 14 states. The population grew ten-fold between 1970 and 1980 and the City of Rio Rancho was incorporated in 1981. The opening of a large Intel Corporation plant in 1981 had a major economic impact on the city. Since the 1990s, Rio Rancho has taken steps to become more independent from neighboring Albuquerque, including the establishment of separate school and library systems and attempts to attract businesses to the area. The city's latest project is the Downtown City Centre development that includes a new city hall building, a new University of New Mexico West and Central New Mexico Community College campus, as well as the Santa Ana Star Center. The arena opened in October 2006. City Hall opened in September 2007.

Rio Rancho receives 8.90 inches of precipitation annually on average, although the western portion of the city receives slightly more rain and snowfall due to its higher elevation than the more densely-developed eastern portion of Rio Rancho. {{Weather box|location = Rio Rancho, New Mexico (1981–2010 normals) |single line = Y |Jan record high F = 74 |Feb record high F = 82 |Mar record high F = 90 |Apr record high F = 94 |May record high F = 107 |Jun record high F = 108 |Jul record high F = 111 |Aug record high F = 106 |Sep record high F = 102 |Oct record high F = 95 |Nov record high F = 83 |Dec record high F = 75 |year record high F= 111 |Jan high F = 53 |Feb high F = 59 |Mar high F = 67 |Apr high F = 76 |May high F = 85 |Jun high F = 94 |Jul high F = 96 |Aug high F = 93 |Sep high F = 87 |Oct high F = 76 |Nov high F = 62 |Dec high F = 53 |Jan low F = 30 |Feb low F = 34 |Mar low F = 39 |Apr low F = 45 |May low F = 53 |Jun low F = 61 |Jul low F = 68 |Aug low F = 68 |Sep low F = 59 |Oct low F = 47 |Nov low F = 37 |Dec low F = 30 |Jan record low F = 5 |Feb record low F = 8 |Mar record low F = 18 |Apr record low F = 26 |May record low F = 37 |Jun record low F = 46 |Jul record low F = 51 |Aug record low F = 49 |Sep record low F = 41 |Oct record low F = 23 |Nov record low F = 17 |Dec record low F = 4 |year record low F= 4 |Jan precipitation inch = 0.33 |Feb precipitation inch = 0.38 |Mar precipitation inch = 0.65 |Apr precipitation inch = 0.50 |May precipitation inch = 0.49 |Jun precipitation inch = 0.58 |Jul precipitation inch = 1.26 |Aug precipitation inch = 1.72 |Sep precipitation inch = 0.99 |Oct precipitation inch = 0.95 |Nov precipitation inch = 0.58 |Dec precipitation inch = 0.47 |year precipitation inch= 8.90 |precipitation colour = green |source 1 = Weather Channel [7] |date=January 2014 }} Economy
The Intel Corporation is by far the largest employer in Rio Rancho. The services, retail, and government sectors are also major components of the local economy. Rio Rancho is the site of Intel's Intel Fab 11X, one of the largest semiconductor fabrication plants in the world. The fully automated, $2 billion facility opened in 2002 and was the first Intel plant to manufacture 300 mm silicon wafers, which can hold almost twice as many chips as the standard 200 mm wafers. Fab 7, Intel's original Rio Rancho plant, closed in 2002, but is being converted into a test facility. In 2005, Rio Rancho became the first U.S. city to offer citywide voice-over-WiFi (VoWiFi) service, although many of its residents complained that the service did not live up to their expectations.{{Citation needed|date=November 2008}} Several call centers call Rio Rancho home.
