What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for this job is strong here. Virginia's middle earner gets $79,810, putting the state 9 of 51 — about 14.03% ahead of the national figure.
- Against other work in Virginia, this sits in the middle: 135 of 489 occupations with published pay. Solidly ordinary for the state, which is not the same as ordinary nationally.
- Prices here sit close to the national average, so the adjustment changes little. From $79,810 the take-home is $61,148, which is worth about $60,693 in comparable money. Tax does most of the work here, not cost of living. The average is higher, $105,250, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For property, real estate, and community association managers, Virginia sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $79,810, ranking 9 of 51 and running about 14.03% above the national midpoint. Nominal advantage of this size is usually, though not always, large enough to survive the state's own tax and price levels.
- Property, real estate, and community association managers ranks 135 of 489 occupations in Virginia 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.
- Virginia's price level is near the national average, so price deflation is close to neutral for property, real estate, and community association managers on its $79,810 median: $61,148 retained after tax becomes $60,693 in national-average terms. Where the price adjustment is small, the tax stack is the dominant determinant of the real outcome. The mean of $105,250 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Half the people doing this work in Virginia earn less than $79,810. The published range is $45,340 up to $169,040, so an individual figure can sit a long way from the middle in either direction.
- That $61,148 take-home in Virginia comes from $79,810. It is the no-frills case: single filer, standard deduction, nothing set aside before tax. Real circumstances almost always reduce the tax. City and school-district taxes are not counted at all. Locally the work ranks 135 of 489.
- One number stands for prices across all of Virginia, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $60,693, the adjusted value of that $79,810 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 135 of 489 in the state.
- Reported values are medians; for property, real estate, and community association managers in Virginia the tenth-to-ninetieth percentile band is $45,340 to $169,040. Neither the median nor the band is an offer rate, and neither accounts for hours, shift differentials or overtime.
- Retained pay of $61,148, from $79,810, assumes a single Virginia filer with the standard deduction and no elective deferrals. Pre-tax retirement or HSA contributions, dependants and itemized deductions all reduce it further; local income taxes, excluded here, would increase it in the states that levy them. This occupation ranks 135 of 489 locally, and the state ranks 9 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Virginia, so $60,693 — the adjusted value of that $79,810 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 135 of 489 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 $105,250 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 $45,340, the highest tenth $169,040, and what separates them is experience, employer and what exactly the role does.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
The number and the value are different things. Virginia costs more than the national average, so this take-home stretches like $60,693 rather than its face figure.
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 Virginia's own levy, $61,148 remains.
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 Virginia is $105,250. 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 ($45,340) and the ninetieth ($169,040) 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?
Virginia's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $60,693 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 $61,148 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Virginia 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.
