What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for statisticians is strong here. Florida's middle earner gets $108,040, putting the state 15 of 45 — about 2.26% ahead of the national figure.
- Within Florida this is well-paid work. Of 493 occupations with published figures in the state, statisticians ranks 37 — in the top quarter of everything people do there.
- The wage here flatters the reality. From $108,040 the take-home is $84,836. But Florida costs more than the national average, so that money behaves more like $82,005 would elsewhere. Worth knowing before comparing offers across states. The average is higher, $113,520, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For statisticians, Florida sits in the upper band nationally: a median of $108,040, ranking 15 of 45 and running about 2.26% 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.
- Ranked against every occupation Florida publishes a median for, statisticians sits 37 of 493 — the upper quartile of the state's wage distribution. National standing and within-state standing are separate questions, and a job can occupy very different positions on each.
- Retained pay after federal, FICA and Florida income tax is $84,836 for statisticians, from $108,040. The state's price level exceeds the national average, so the price-adjusted equivalent is $82,005. ⚠️ This is purchasing power and not a wage; cross-state offer comparisons that stop at the nominal figure systematically overvalue high-cost states. The mean of $113,520 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $108,040 as a midpoint for Florida, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $54,600 and the ninetieth is $189,530 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $84,836 take-home in Florida comes from $108,040. 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 37 of 493.
- Two cautions on $82,005, the adjusted value of that $108,040 median. It levels out prices with a single number for all of Florida. No actual address matches that. The wage figures and price figures are also from different years. Each is published on its own timetable. This work sits at 37 of 493 locally.
- The Florida median of $108,040 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $54,600 to $189,530. 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 $84,836, from $108,040, assumes a single Florida 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 37 of 493 locally, and the state ranks 15 of 45 for it.
- This $82,005 adjusted figure, worked from $108,040, rests on a state-level price parity averaging over within-state dispersion larger than much of the between-state dispersion. Wage and price vintages differ by publication schedule. The result is directionally sound and not address-specific, for work at 37 of 493 in the state. The occupation ranks 37 of 493 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 $113,520 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 $54,600 and the top tenth $189,530 — experience, employer and specialism separate them, and a single figure hides all three.
Does a bigger number here mean I am better off?
A larger wage in a dearer place is not automatically more. Adjusted for local prices, this pay behaves like $82,005 of national purchasing power.
Is most of this wage taxed away?
Less than people assume. $84,836 of this wage reaches your account, because Florida takes no income tax from wages — but federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply exactly as they do everywhere else.
Why is this job missing from some states?
A blank is a suppression, not a zero. 45 states have a published figure for this work; the others had too few responses to release 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 Florida is $113,520. 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 ($54,600) and the ninetieth ($189,530) 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?
Florida's regional price parity sits above the national average, so nominal wages overstate purchasing power. Deflating take-home by the state price level gives $82,005 in national-average terms. ⚠️ RPPs are an all-items index; housing parities vary far more widely than the headline figure.
Why is the take-home ratio comparatively high in this state?
Florida levies no personal income tax on wages, so take-home of $84,836 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.
Why does this occupation lack published estimates in every state?
BLS suppresses estimates failing disclosure or reliability criteria. This occupation has published state-level estimates in 45 of the fifty-one jurisdictions. Suppression reflects sample size and confidentiality rules, and cannot be read as an absence of employment.
