Family Medicine Physicians pay in Nevada and Rhode Island
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Family Medicine Physicians is $251,550 per year in Nevada. It is $467,160 per year in Rhode Island. Nevada is 46.2% below Rhode Island on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 29-1215 and the same annual wage metric. Median means the middle of each area's published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. The larger median is not proof that one place gives a better job or a better result. It is one wage fact from one source period.
BLS lists 340 wage and salary jobs in Nevada and 210 in Rhode Island. Those are survey job counts, not open posts. Read pay, job scale, local share, and price level as separate facts before you make a choice.
