What this pays, and what it is worth
- Idaho is among the lower-paying states for this job. The middle earner takes $51,370, ranking 48 of 51 states — about 26.6% below the national middle. Costs here are often lower too, which the figures further down account for.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 269 among 476 occupations Idaho publishes pay for.
- Cheaper living works in this state's favor. From $51,370 you keep $41,586 after tax, and local prices stretch that to the equivalent of $45,487 at national prices. Averages run higher here, $58,850, since top earners drag the number up.
- Idaho ranks 48 of 51 for property, real estate, and community association managers, with a median of $51,370 — about 26.6% below the national figure. A nominal shortfall is not by itself a real one: lower-paying states frequently carry lower tax and lower price levels, and the adjusted figures below are where that is settled rather than assumed.
- Position 269 of 476 in Idaho 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 in Idaho is $41,586 after the full tax stack, from $51,370. Because the state's price level runs below the national average, the price-adjusted equivalent is $45,487 — a real-terms figure describing purchasing power rather than compensation, and not a number that appears on any pay stub. Mean pay of $58,850 exceeds the median, so the upper tail is doing the work.

Sources and assumptions
- A median is the middle, not an offer. Half of property, real estate, and community association managers in Idaho earn under $51,370 and half over. The published range runs $30,400 at the tenth percentile to $88,730 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 Idaho's $41,586, worked from $51,370. 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 269 of 476.
- One number stands for prices across all of Idaho, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $45,487, the adjusted value of that $51,370 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 269 of 476 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for property, real estate, and community association managers in Idaho, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $30,400 to $88,730; 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 Idaho take-home of $41,586, on $51,370 for work ranking 269 of 476 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 269 of 476 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Idaho, so $45,487 — the adjusted value of that $51,370 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 269 of 476 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 $58,850 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 $30,400 and the top tenth $88,730 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
A smaller wage in a cheaper place is not automatically less. Adjusted for local prices, this is worth $45,487.
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 Idaho adds its own income tax on top — which is why $41,586 of this wage survives to your account.
Can I compare this job across every state?
This occupation is published everywhere — all 51 of them — so comparing states measures real differences rather than gaps in the data.
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 Idaho is $58,850. 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 ($30,400) and the ninetieth ($88,730) 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?
Idaho'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 $45,487 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 $41,586 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Idaho 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.
