What this pays, and what it is worth
- Ohio sits in the middle of the pack for this job. The median is $63,410, ranking 26 of 50 states with figures. Close enough to the national middle that where you live matters more than the headline suggests.
- Against other work in Ohio, this sits in the middle: 194 of 494 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Here is where Ohio does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $63,410 you keep $52,103, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $56,749 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $71,010, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Ohio occupies the middle band for property appraisers and assessors: a median of $63,410, ranking 26 of 50. Where nominal pay is close to the national figure, the tax and price adjustments below carry proportionally more weight in determining the real outcome.
- Property appraisers and assessors ranks 194 of 494 occupations in Ohio 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.
- After federal, FICA and Ohio income tax, retained pay for property appraisers and assessors on $63,410 is $52,103. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $56,749 in national-average terms. ⚠️ That figure is purchasing power, not a wage, and nobody is paid it; it is what the take-home buys. The mean of $71,010 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $63,410 as a midpoint for Ohio, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $40,740 and the ninetieth is $104,160 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- In Ohio the take-home figure of $52,103, from $63,410, assumes one filer, no dependants, and nothing paid into a pension before tax. Each of those lowers the bill, so treat it as the plain case. City and school-district income taxes are not included either, and in a few states those are real money. It ranks 194 of 494 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Ohio, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $56,749, the adjusted value of that $63,410 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 194 of 494 in the state.
- The Ohio median of $63,410 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $40,740 to $104,160. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Take-home for Ohio is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $52,103 from $63,410. Each omitted item reduces taxable income, so the figure is a lower bound on retained pay for this household shape. Municipal and school-district income taxes are excluded, which understates the burden materially in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The occupation ranks 194 of 494 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Ohio, so $56,749 — the adjusted value of that $63,410 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 194 of 494 locally.
Questions people ask
Is this the average pay for the job?
Half earn more than this and half earn less. The average sits at $71,010 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
Why is the pay range for this job so wide?
One title, many jobs. The lowest tenth take $40,740, the highest tenth $104,160, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Ohio is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $56,749 in national terms.
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 Ohio's own levy, $52,103 remains.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 50 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
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 Ohio is $71,010. 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 drives the percentile dispersion in this occupation?
Dispersion between the tenth percentile ($40,740) and the ninetieth ($104,160) exceeds the family median dispersion. SOC codes aggregate roles differing in seniority, industry and specialisation, and BLS does not disaggregate below the detailed occupation level, so within-title variance is not separable from the published series.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Ohio'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 $56,749 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 $52,103 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Ohio 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.
