What this pays, and what it is worth
- Middling, nationally. Delaware pays this job around $68,890 at the midpoint, 25 of 50 states. The interesting numbers on this page are the two below it.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 445 occupations Delaware reports figures for, this is number 166.
- No great distortion either way. Delaware costs about what the country costs, so from $68,890, take-home of $53,978 is worth roughly $54,385 in national money. The average lands at $63,400, below the middle of the range.
- For health information technologists and medical registrars the Delaware median is $68,890, ranking 25 of 50 states reporting. Mid-band nominal positions are the ones most frequently reordered by the adjustments, because no large wage premium exists to absorb a state's tax or price level.
- In Delaware's occupational distribution, health information technologists and medical registrars sits at 166 of 445 — neither quartile. This local position is what a resident compares against, and it is determined by the state's own labor market rather than by national patterns for this occupation.
- Price parity in Delaware is near the national base, so for health information technologists and medical registrars, whose median is $68,890, the adjusted figure of $54,385 differs little from $53,978 retained after tax. The state's position for this occupation is therefore set by wage and tax rather than by living costs. At $63,400 the mean undershoots the median, an inversion of the usual skew.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $68,890 as a midpoint for Delaware, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $41,980 and the ninetieth is $80,790 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- One filer, no dependants, no pension contributions — that is the household behind Delaware's $53,978, worked from $68,890. 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 166 of 445.
- Two cautions on $54,385, the adjusted value of that $68,890 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Delaware. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 166 of 445 locally.
- The Delaware median of $68,890 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $41,980 to $80,790. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- The Delaware take-home of $53,978, on $68,890 for work ranking 166 of 445 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 166 of 445 in the state.
- This $54,385 adjusted figure, worked from $68,890, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 166 of 445 in the state. The occupation ranks 166 of 445 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
It is the midpoint, not the average. The average here is $63,400, 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 — $41,980 at the tenth percentile, $80,790 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Delaware sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $54,385 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Three of them are federal and one is not. After income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Delaware's own levy, $53,978 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 50 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release 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 Delaware is $63,400. 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 ($41,980 to $80,790) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Delaware rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Delaware's regional price parity is at or below the national average, so nominal wages understate purchasing power. Take-home deflated by the state price level is $54,385 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $53,978 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Delaware income tax for a single filer with no adjustments. The state layer is levied in addition to the federal one; only its rate and base differ between states.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 50 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
