What this pays, and what it is worth
- Neither high nor low. Tennessee is 23 of 51 states for this job, with a middle wage of $64,870. What that is worth is the question the rest of this page answers.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 154 among 491 occupations Tennessee publishes pay for.
- Here is where Tennessee does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $64,870 you keep $54,303, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $58,696 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $75,440, because the best-paid pull it up.
- Tennessee ranks 23 of 51 for property, real estate, and community association managers at $64,870. The nominal figure is unremarkable; the adjusted figures are where the state's actual position for this occupation is determined.
- Position 154 of 491 in Tennessee 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.
- After federal, FICA and Tennessee income tax, retained pay for property, real estate, and community association managers on $64,870 is $54,303. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $58,696 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 $75,440 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 Tennessee earn under $64,870 and half over. The published range runs $40,680 at the tenth percentile to $119,900 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 Tennessee's $54,303, worked from $64,870. 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 154 of 491.
- One number stands for prices across all of Tennessee, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $58,696, the adjusted value of that $64,870 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 154 of 491 in the state.
- Figures are distribution medians for property, real estate, and community association managers in Tennessee, not entry or offer rates. The published band runs $40,680 to $119,900; 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 Tennessee take-home of $54,303, on $64,870 for work ranking 154 of 491 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 154 of 491 in the state.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Tennessee, so $58,696 — the adjusted value of that $64,870 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 154 of 491 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 $75,440 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 $40,680 and the top tenth $119,900 — 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 $58,696.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $54,303 of this wage reaches your account, because Tennessee takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
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 Tennessee is $75,440. 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 ($40,680) and the ninetieth ($119,900) 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?
Tennessee'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 $58,696 in national-average terms. The adjustment uses an all-items index and does not isolate housing.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Tennessee levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $54,303 reflects the federal layer and FICA alone. Federal income tax and FICA are unchanged; states without a wage income tax generally recover revenue through consumption and property bases instead.
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.
