What this pays, and what it is worth
- Pay for statisticians is on the low side in Vermont. The middle earner gets $82,210. That is 35 of 45 states, and about 22.19% under the national figure. Whether that matters depends on what things cost here.
- This is one of the better-paid jobs in Vermont. It ranks 103 out of 453 occupations the state publishes figures for, which puts it in the top quarter locally.
- Here is where Vermont does better than its wage suggests. From a median of $82,210 you keep $63,349, and because things cost less here than the national average, that behaves like $65,555 would elsewhere. The average is higher, $85,920, because the best-paid pull it up.
- For statisticians, Vermont sits in the lower band at $82,210, ranking 35 of 45 and trailing the national median by about 22.19%. Nominal rankings routinely invert once tax and regional price level are applied, so this position should not be read as the conclusion.
- Within Vermont, statisticians ranks 103 of 453 occupations by median pay, placing it in the top quartile of the local distribution. This is the comparison a resident actually makes — against neighbors rather than against the same job elsewhere.
- After federal, FICA and Vermont income tax, retained pay for statisticians on $82,210 is $63,349. Deflating by the state's price level — below the national average — gives $65,555 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 $85,920 sits above the median, the right skew typical of wage data.

Sources and assumptions
- Treat $82,210 as a midpoint for Vermont, not a promise. The tenth percentile is $67,580 and the ninetieth is $105,120 — a wide band, and where you land in it depends on far more than the state.
- That $63,349 take-home in Vermont comes from $82,210. 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 103 of 453.
- One number stands for prices across all of Vermont, which is a simplification — big cities cost far more than small towns. Read $65,555, the adjusted value of that $82,210 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 103 of 453 in the state.
- The Vermont median of $82,210 describes the midpoint of a distribution spanning $67,580 to $105,120. 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 $63,349, from $82,210, assumes a single Vermont 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 103 of 453 locally, and the state ranks 35 of 45 for it.
- Price deflation uses one statewide parity for Vermont, so $65,555 — the adjusted value of that $82,210 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 103 of 453 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 $85,920 because a long tail of high pay lifts it, so the two answer different questions.
How much does pay for this job actually vary?
Most of these jobs pay within a close range — $67,580 at the tenth percentile, $105,120 at the ninetieth.
What does this pay actually buy where I live?
More than the figure suggests. Prices in Vermont sit below the national level, so take-home here stretches like $65,555 would elsewhere. The wage is the same; the ground it covers is larger.
Where does the difference between the wage and my paycheck go?
Four deductions, stacked. The federal layer and the two payroll taxes apply wherever you work; Vermont then takes its own share, leaving $63,349.
Why is this job missing from some states?
The survey withholds small samples rather than publish an unreliable number. Pay appears for 45 states here, and a missing state means too few reports, not no jobs.
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 Vermont is $85,920. 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 is the dispersion of this occupation's wage distribution?
The tenth-to-ninetieth percentile span ($67,580 to $105,120) sits at or below the family's median dispersion, indicating relatively standardized compensation. Percentiles are published per state, so this dispersion is specific to Vermont rather than a national figure.
What is this occupation's price-adjusted compensation in this state?
Vermont'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 $65,555 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 $63,349 reflects federal income tax, OASDI, Medicare and Vermont 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.
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.
