Truth or Consequences (often abbreviated as T or C /ˌtiːɔːrˈsiː/ ; founded as Hot Springs) is a city in the U.S. state of New Mexico, and the county seat of Sierra County.[5] In 2020, the population was 6,052. It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names for having chosen to rename itself in March 1950 after the Truth or Consequences radio show.[6] The name is often hyphenated (Truth-or-Consequences, T-or-C) for clarity, though the formal name contains no punctuation.
