The aviation rule of thumb - which is useful in predicting cloud bottoms - is 1,000 feet = 4.5°F of cooling.

Albequerque is over 6,000' ASL.  The Sandia Mountains nearby go over 12,000.  I've been in Hawaii freezing in the snow at nearly 14,000.

I'm at about 1,000 feet now, I think I need a couple thousand more for a retirement spot

I don't need 111 degrees in the summer

I don't need below zero in the winter

I don't mind a little snow around Xmas, as long as the snow that falls in December isn't still there until March

I'm at 1,000 feet also, and it helps a bit relative to south Georgia.

I've been taking it and liking it for decades

I'm not liking it as much as I once did

I might take a Uhaul trailer out of town

I can barely deal with Ohio humidity, much less Florida's.  If I packed up and moved I'd probably prefer Washington or Oregon, but my wife hates rain.  New Mexico would be a great option - the forecast this week for Santa Fe has every day in the 80's and every night in the 50's.  Plus all the chiles you can handle.
My MIL lives in Santa Fe, in a gated community at 7700 feet, up Hyde Park Road on the way to the ski slopes.  I've been there more times than I care to count.
From what I've seen, in Santa Fe, you're either retired from a prosperous career elsewhere and living in a gated community up above the peons or you are one of the peons living in a faux-dobe hovel.  There are some nice middle-class neighborhoods down adjacent to the Plaza, but not many.
Great museums, great art galleries, great restaurants.  For those who can afford those things.
We've gotten tired of the color of brown.  Faux-dobe everywhere.  Bad streets.  Bad public services.  Bad medical care (odd, considering all the wealthy retirees).  Bad public schools.  Even the most mundane things, like a car wash, are expensive, like what you'd expect to see in San Francisco.
Great weather, though.  And great views of the mountains.

unless the peons have a decent golf course

then I'd fit right in

The noose thing with Bubba Wallace NASCAR story is a fake, nothing to it by hype.

My dad and I went to the Albuquerque  hot air balloon festival once then drove around New Mexico.  I agree with you on the excessive faux-dobe.  Also, in some of the smaller towns it felt like every resident sold art for a living.  Not sure how sustainable that was.
