How much do cartographers and photogrammetrists make in Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area?

What the Cartographers and Photogrammetrists median says in Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Cartographers and Photogrammetrists median in Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area at $60,960 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 17-1021 and BLS area 4800004.

BLS lists 40 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $62,030 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area's Cartographers and Photogrammetrists median is 25.1% below the U.S. Cartographers and Photogrammetrists median of $81,390 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.

Read the Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area wage ladder for Cartographers and Photogrammetrists

The 10th percentile is $31,990 per year. The 25th percentile is $31,990 per year. The median is $60,960 per year. The 75th percentile is $71,770 per year. The 90th percentile is $91,920 per year.

A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.

The middle half runs from $31,990 per year to $71,770 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $59,930. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.

Compare Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.

Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $60,960 per year. Texas has $73,970 per year. The U.S. row has $81,390 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.

Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area is 17.6% below Texas on the same published median. Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area is 25.1% below the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.

The state and U.S. rows are benchmarks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.

Where Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area sits for Cartographers and Photogrammetrists

Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area ranks 9 of 10 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Cartographers and Photogrammetrists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 9 of 10 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.

The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.

• 6. Coast Oregon nonmetropolitan area. The Cartographers and Photogrammetrists median is $75,700 per year. BLS estimates 30 jobs. The location quotient is 3.26.
• 7. Western North Carolina nonmetropolitan area. The Cartographers and Photogrammetrists median is $64,580 per year. BLS estimates 30 jobs. The location quotient is 1.33.
• 8. East South Dakota nonmetropolitan area. The Cartographers and Photogrammetrists median is $64,540 per year. BLS estimates 60 jobs. The location quotient is 4.76.

Where Cartographers and Photogrammetrists medians lead among nonmetro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 17-1021, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Northwest Colorado nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $95,060 per year. Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area sits at $60,960 per year.

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Cartographers and Photogrammetrists is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.

Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.

Where BLS counts the most Cartographers and Photogrammetrists jobs

East South Dakota nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Cartographers and Photogrammetrists in this same-source set, at 60 jobs. Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area has 40. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.

A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.

Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.

How common Cartographers and Photogrammetrists is in Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area

BLS lists 40 Cartographers and Photogrammetrists jobs in Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.21 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.

The location quotient is 2.29. A value of 1 means Cartographers and Photogrammetrists has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is higher than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.

Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.

Cartographers and Photogrammetrists beside other roles in Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area

The all-occupations median in Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area is $45,000 per year. The Cartographers and Photogrammetrists median is $60,960 per year.

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.

Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Cartographers and Photogrammetrists. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.

Cartographers and Photogrammetrists has 40 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.

The all-occupations job count is 200,870. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.

A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Cartographers and Photogrammetrists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.

Correctional Officers and Jailers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area role table, at 9.45. Cartographers and Photogrammetrists has 2.29. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.

A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.

The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Cartographers and Photogrammetrists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

What $60,960 may mean after the Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area price level

WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $60,960 BLS median stays a nominal wage.

No price row means no national-price-dollar proxy. It does not mean prices match the U.S. level. It does not say whether a wage goes far or not. The source is missing for this exact map key, so the price answer stays open.

You can still compare Cartographers and Photogrammetrists with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.

How much care to use with the Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area row

The employment RSE for this Cartographers and Photogrammetrists row is 25.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 15.9%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.

The employment RSE belongs to the 40 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $62,030 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.

A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.

Use Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Cartographers and Photogrammetrists. It uses a Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.

Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $60,960 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.

Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.

What the Cartographers and Photogrammetrists row for Hill Country Region of Texas nonmetropolitan area does not claim

The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.

The 40 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 2.29 is not a growth score. Rank 9 of 10 is not a place score. A missing price index is not a personal budget.

Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 17-1021 in BLS area 4800004. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
