The salary figure is the mean annual wage reported by the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage
Statistics (OEWS) program for this occupation and metro area. Percentile and national-average
comparisons are calculated directly from the 188 cities currently in this dataset,
not from a fixed external benchmark. Cost of living, crime and housing figures come from BEA, FBI
and Zillow respectively — see "Data transparency" above for the exact sources and reference years
used on this specific page.
Confidence: the RSE (relative standard error) shown under Overview indicates
how reliable the salary estimate is for this metro — a lower RSE means a larger underlying sample.
