What this pays, and what it is worth
- The nominal figure here is modest. Nevada pays this job a middle wage of $65,570, 49 of 51 states and about 18.44% below the national middle. Hold that thought until the adjusted numbers.
- Ordinary, locally speaking. This job ranks 193 among 485 occupations Nevada publishes pay for.
- Nevada is cheaper than average, and that shows up here. From $65,570 the take-home is $54,865; adjusted for what things actually cost, it goes as far as $56,574 would nationally. The average comes to $76,270, above the middle, thanks to the top of the range.
- Nevada's $65,570 median for social and community service managers places it 49 of 51 states, about 18.44% 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.
- Position 193 of 485 in Nevada places social and community service 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.
- Post-tax income for social and community service managers in Nevada, on $65,570, is $54,865 — equivalent to $56,574 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 $76,270 the mean overshoots the median — the usual right-skewed shape.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $65,570 as a midpoint for Nevada, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $43,260 and the ninetieth is $123,230 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $54,865 take-home in Nevada comes from $65,570. 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 193 of 485.
- One number stands for prices across all of Nevada, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $56,574, the adjusted value of that $65,570 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 193 of 485 in the state.
- The Nevada median of $65,570 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $43,260 to $123,230. Because that spread is typically larger than the interstate spread, a state median is a weak predictor for any individual worker in this occupation.
- Retained pay of $54,865, from $65,570, assumes a single Nevada 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 193 of 485 locally, and the state ranks 49 of 51 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Nevada, so $56,574 — the adjusted value of that $65,570 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 193 of 485 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 $76,270 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 $43,260 and the top tenth $123,230 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
Further than the number implies. Nevada is cheaper than the national average, so this take-home behaves like $56,574 in national terms.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
No. $54,865 survives, because Nevada levies no wage income tax. The federal share does not change with the state you work in.
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 Nevada is $76,270. 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 ($43,260) and the ninetieth ($123,230) 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?
Nevada'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 $56,574 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?
Nevada levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $54,865 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.
