What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Louisiana pays this job a middle wage of $49,990, 49 of 51 states and about 28.58% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Middle of the local pack. Of 484 occupations Louisiana reports figures for, this is number 252.
- Louisiana is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $49,990 the take-home is $41,234; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $46,673 would nationally. The average comes to $60,940, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Louisiana's $49,990 median for property, real estate, and community association managers places it 49 of 51 states, about 28.58% below national. Because both the tax and price adjustments tend to favor lower-nominal states, this ranking is the least stable of the three reported here.
- In Louisiana's occupational distribution, property, real estate, and community association managers sits at 252 of 484 — 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.
- Post-tax income for property, real estate, and community association managers in Louisiana, on $49,990, is $41,234 — equivalent to $46,673 once regional price parity is applied. ⚠️ The adjustment uses a statewide index that describes no particular address; within-state price variation, concentrated in housing, routinely exceeds the difference between two states. At $60,940 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Louisiana earn less than $49,990. The published range is $31,060 up to $105,900, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- In Louisiana the take-home figure of $41,234, from $49,990, 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 252 of 484 occupations here.
- The wage data and the price data come from different years. That is how each is published. The price adjustment behind $46,673 uses one figure for the whole of Louisiana. A city and a rural county there can differ by more than two states do. Out of 484 occupations the state publishes, this one sits at 252.
- Reported values are medians; for property, real estate, and community association managers in Louisiana the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $31,060 to $105,900. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Take-home for Louisiana is computed for a single filer taking the standard deduction with no dependants and no pre-tax contributions, giving $41,234 from $49,990. 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 252 of 484 locally.
- Wage and price series carry different reference periods, each published on its own schedule. The real-terms figure of $46,673, worked from $49,990, deflates by a statewide parity that conceals substantial intra-state variation, concentrated in housing — so it supports comparison between states rather than the pricing of a move to a particular Louisiana address, on work sitting at 252 of 484 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 $60,940 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?
The label is broader than the work. From $31,060 at the bottom tenth to $105,900 at the top, the same title covers roles that share little beyond a name.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Louisiana sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $46,673 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 Louisiana's own levy, $41,234 remains.
Can I compare this job across every state?
Yes for this one. Pay is published in all 51 jurisdictions, so a state-to-state comparison here rests on the same survey everywhere rather than on a patchwork.
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 Louisiana is $60,940. 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 ($31,060) and the ninetieth ($105,900) 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?
Louisiana'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 $46,673 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 $41,234 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Louisiana 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.
