Start with the answer

Rehabilitation Counselors pay in Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL and New Haven, CT

The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Rehabilitation Counselors is $40,140 per year in Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL. It is $79,380 per year in New Haven, CT. Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL is 49.4% below New Haven, CT on the published median.

Both rows use SOC 21-1015 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 210 wage and salary jobs in Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL and Not published in New Haven, CT. 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.

Pay range

Compare the full Rehabilitation Counselors wage ladder

A median can hide a wide range. The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile points show more of each area's spread. A percentile is a rank point. It is not a career stage. The 10th point does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th point does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years.

The lower half can differ from the upper half. One area can lead at the median and trail at another point. Read each field against the same field in the other area. Do not compare one area's 75th percentile with the other area's median. That would answer a different question.

A posted job range can sit below, across, or above these marks. That does not make the post wrong. A listing can differ by employer, level, hours, field, or work rules. Keep the listing tied to that employer. Keep the BLS range tied to the whole role-place row.

10th percentile: Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL is $32,900 per year; New Haven, CT is $43,000 per year. Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL is 23.5% below New Haven, CT at this point.
25th percentile: Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL is $35,810 per year; New Haven, CT is $47,160 per year. Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL is 24.1% below New Haven, CT at this point.

Shape of pay

Mean and median tell two parts of the Rehabilitation Counselors story

Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL has a mean of $45,500 per year and a median of $40,140. New Haven, CT has a mean of $70,830 per year and a median of $79,380. Mean adds all wage values and splits the total by the number of jobs behind the estimate.

Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL's mean is 13.4% above its median on the same published median. New Haven, CT's mean is 10.8% below its median on the same published median. The gaps show that each wage spread has a shape. They do not explain why the shape differs.

Use median for the middle. Use mean to see how the full set pulls. Use percentiles to see more of the spread. None of the three is a pay promise. A person, team, or listing can sit far from all three for reasons that are outside these BLS rows.

Job scale

How the two Rehabilitation Counselors job bases differ

Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL has 210 estimated Rehabilitation Counselors jobs. New Haven, CT has Not published. The larger count shows a larger covered job base in this source. It does not show more open roles, faster hiring, or a better chance for one applicant.

Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL has 1.17 Rehabilitation Counselors jobs per 1,000 local jobs. New Haven, CT has Not published per 1,000. This rate helps compare places of different size. It is not a job-post rate and does not use the MeritLog catalog.

The employment RSE is 13.3% in Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL and Not published in New Haven, CT. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. It is not the chance that the job count or one person's pay is right.

Local share

Where Rehabilitation Counselors takes a larger share of jobs

The location quotient is 1.91 in Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL and Not published in New Haven, CT. A value of 1 means the role has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. A value above 1 means the local share is larger. A value below 1 means it is smaller.

A quotient gap is not available. That gap is about the job mix. It is not a wage gap, a job-count gap, or a growth claim.

Read location quotient with employment. A small place can have a high share and few jobs. A large place can have many jobs and a share near the national mark. Then read pay as its own field. The three measures do not form one score.

BEA price view

How price levels differ between Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL and New Haven, CT

BEA's 2024 all-items price index is 89.1 in Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL and 104.6 in New Haven, CT. The U.S. level is 100. A higher number means the broad local price level is higher than the national mark. It does not say a place is good or bad.

Housing is 68.3 in Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL and 124.3 in New Haven, CT. Goods are 94.2 and 97.3. Utilities are 89.9 and 144.8. Other services are 93.5 and 102.7. The parts can move in different ways.

The wage period is May 2025. The price period is 2024. WageScope keeps those clocks visible. It uses the all-items index for one clear proxy. It does not mix BEA prices into the BLS source row, and it does not claim the two releases describe the exact same month.

Price-level proxy

Compare the medians in national-price dollars

In Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL, we start with the $40,140 median. We divide it by 89.1 divided by 100. The result is $45,061 per year. In New Haven, CT, we start with $79,380. We divide it by 104.6 divided by 100. That result is $75,919 per year.

Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL's proxy is 40.6% below New Haven, CT's. The nominal gap is 49.4%. The order can stay the same or change after the price-level step. Both results must keep their labels.

The proxy is a narrow math tool. It is not take-home pay. It does not add taxes, benefits, household size, debt, commute, schools, safety, climate, or taste. It does not set a wage target. Use it to see how one broad price index changes the wage view, then check your own costs outside WageScope.

Same-proxy pay

What equal price-level pay would look like in the other place

$40,140 per year in Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL has the same value after this price check as $47,115 per year in New Haven, CT. We keep the result for Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL fixed. Then we apply the overall price index for New Haven, CT.

$79,380 per year in New Haven, CT has the same proxy as $67,628 per year in Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL. This reverse view is useful because the answer depends on which wage you start with. It is not a claim about an offer in either place.

Equivalent nominal pay uses one broad price measure. It does not know what a person buys. It does not know rent, family size, debt, taxes, travel, benefits, or savings. Treat the result as a clean source-backed comparison, not a full move plan or a number an employer must match.

Data care

Check the survey marks before you use the gap

The mean-wage RSE is 1.7% in Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL and 7.4% in New Haven, CT. The employment RSE is 13.3% and Not published. RSE is a precision flag for the field it sits beside. It is not a score for the whole page.

BLS does not publish the same RSE field for the median and each percentile. WageScope does not move a mean RSE to the median. It does not use an employment RSE as a wage care mark. Each value stays tied to its source field. Missing or top-coded values also keep their source state.

New BLS or BEA data can change the result. We check the source dates before release. If a full new release is waiting for review, we cannot call these data current. Each job card has its own check date. New job posts do not make the government data newer.

Use the result

A short check list for Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL and New Haven, CT

Start with the same Rehabilitation Counselors wage field. Then read the full percentile spread. Check job count, jobs per 1,000, and location quotient. Add the 2024 all-items and housing price levels. Read the national-price-dollar proxy with its limits. Keep the BLS and BEA dates in view.

Next, inspect one current employer-title match in each place when an exact public place match exists. A job post can show work level, hours, location rules, and pay that the BLS row cannot. The post is dated employer evidence. It does not change the survey median or prove a broad trend.

Last, use your own facts. Compare the job needs with work you have done and can support. A wage gap cannot show fit. A price-level gap cannot show fit. A job count cannot show fit. MeritLog's résumé path starts only after you choose a listing and confirm the work facts you want to use.

Limits

What this Rehabilitation Counselors comparison does not decide

The page does not choose Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL or New Haven, CT for you. It does not say what one worker earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the medians differ. It does not turn the larger wage, job count, quotient, or proxy into a place score.

This comparison leaves out people who work for themselves and jobs outside the BLS survey. It does not add taxes, take-home pay, benefits, stock, bonuses, or hours. It leaves out travel, remote work, and your home budget too. Job posts stay separate. There may be none even when all source data is ready.

Use this page for a bounded choice. Compare the same May 2025 BLS role and metric across two exact areas. Add the separate 2024 BEA price view. Inspect dated employer-title matches. Then build a résumé from facts you have confirmed. Keep each source tied to the question it can answer.
