What this pays, and what it is worth

- New Hampshire ranks 9 of 51 states publishing a median for first-line supervisors of landscaping, lawn service, and groundskeeping workers, at $64,340 — about 10.11% above the national median. A state's position on nominal pay is the figure wage tables report and the least informative of the three on this page, because it survives neither the tax adjustment nor the price adjustment intact for most occupations.
- First-line supervisors of landscaping, lawn service, and groundskeeping workers ranks 220 of 488 occupations in New Hampshire by median pay, in the middle bands. Within-state and national positions are separate measurements and a job commonly sits in different quartiles on each.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of first-line supervisors of landscaping, lawn service, and groundskeeping workers in New Hampshire earn under $64,340 and half over. The published range runs $52,390 at the tenth percentile to $92,390 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind New Hampshire's $53,877, worked from $64,340. That is on purpose. It lets states be compared with each other, not with each other's family circumstances. Local city taxes are left out. Locally this work ranks 220 of 488.
- One number stands for prices across all of New Hampshire, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $51,144, the adjusted value of that $64,340 median, as a way to compare states fairly, not as a quote for any particular place. The two datasets are also from different years. This job sits at 220 of 488 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for first-line supervisors of landscaping, lawn service, and groundskeeping workers in New Hampshire, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $52,390 to $92,390; within-state dispersion of that width routinely exceeds the dispersion between states, so tenure, employer and metropolitan area predict an individual's pay better than geography does.
- The New Hampshire take-home of $53,877, on $64,340 for work ranking 220 of 488 locally, models the simplest household deliberately: holding it constant is what makes the interstate comparison meaningful. It also means the absolute figure overstates liability for most real filers, and municipal income taxes are outside the model entirely. The occupation ranks 220 of 488 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for New Hampshire, so $51,144 — the adjusted value of that $64,340 median — establishes comparability between states rather than accuracy within one. The wage and parity series are dated independently, each following its own publication cycle, and neither is projected forward. This occupation sits at 220 of 488 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $69,180, dragged up by high earners; the middle figure describes a typical worker better.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $52,390 at the tenth percentile, $92,390 at the ninetieth.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
A larger wage in a dearer place is not automatically more. Adjusted for local prices, this pay behaves like $51,144 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Most of it arrives. $53,877 lands after tax, since there is no state income tax on wages here — though the federal floor is identical in every state.
Can I compare this job across every state?
All 51 jurisdictions report this work, which makes the ranking a like-for-like one.
How does the published median differ from the mean for this occupation?
The median is the midpoint of the distribution; the mean for this occupation in New Hampshire is $69,180. Wage distributions are right-skewed, so the mean exceeds the median wherever a minority earn substantially more. BLS publishes both because substituting one for the other misstates a typical worker's pay.
What is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($52,390 to $92,390) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to New Hampshire rather than a national figure.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
New Hampshire's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $51,144 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
New Hampshire levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $53,877 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
Is this occupation's state coverage complete?
State-level estimates are published for all 51 jurisdictions for this occupation, so cross-state comparison is not confounded by suppression. ⚠️ Estimates remain survey-based and carry sampling error; small differences between adjacent states should not be over-read.
