What this pays, and what it is worth
- Connecticut is one of the better-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $73,940, which ranks 17 of 51 states with published figures. That is about 5.64% above the national middle.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 206 among 482 occupations Connecticut publishes pay for.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $73,940 the take-home is $57,530. But Connecticut costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $55,483 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $85,790, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Connecticut ranks 17 of 51 states publishing a median for property, real estate, and community association managers, at $73,940 — about 5.64% 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.
- Position 206 of 482 in Connecticut places property, real estate, and community association managers in the middle of the state's wage distribution. Because within-state and cross-state rankings measure different things, this figure and the national one above should be read together rather than as a single verdict.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Connecticut income tax is $57,530 for property, real estate, and community association managers, from $73,940. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $55,483. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $85,790 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of property, real estate, and community association managers in Connecticut earn under $73,940 and half over. The published range runs $47,170 at the tenth percentile to $130,950 at the ninetieth. Experience and employer move an individual a long way inside that.
- In Connecticut the take-home figure of $57,530, from $73,940, 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 206 of 482 occupations here.
- One number stands for prices across all of Connecticut, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $55,483, the adjusted value of that $73,940 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 206 of 482 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for property, real estate, and community association managers in Connecticut, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $47,170 to $130,950; 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.
- Take-home for Connecticut is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $57,530 from $73,940. 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 206 of 482 locally.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Connecticut, so $55,483 — the adjusted value of that $73,940 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 206 of 482 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 $85,790 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?
Because one job title covers very different work. The bottom tenth here earn $47,170 and the top tenth $130,950 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. Connecticut costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $55,483 rather than its face figure.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Into four separate taxes, not one. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply everywhere, and Connecticut adds its own income tax on top — which is why $57,530 of this wage survives to your account.
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 Connecticut is $85,790. 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 ($47,170) and the ninetieth ($130,950) 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.
How does the state price level affect real compensation?
Connecticut's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $55,483 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
What accounts for the gap between gross wage and take-home here?
Take-home of $57,530 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Connecticut 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.
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.
