Questions, answered
Civil Engineers pay in District of Columbia: common questions
What is the median wage for Civil Engineers in District of Columbia?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $103,880 per year for Civil Engineers in District of Columbia. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Civil Engineers pay higher in District of Columbia than nationally?
District of Columbia's published median was 3.0% above the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in District of Columbia?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 109.9 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Civil Engineers median says in District of Columbia
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Civil Engineers median in District of Columbia at $103,880 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 17-2051 and BLS area 11.
BLS lists 1,650 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 $115,810 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
District of Columbia's Civil Engineers median is 3.0% above the U.S. Civil Engineers median of $100,840 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 17-2051 and area 11. SOC 17-2051 names Civil Engineers. Area 11 names District of Columbia. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 17-2051/11 row reports 1,650 wage and salary jobs, 2.34 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.99 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 17-2051/11, the annual median is $103,880 per year, while the matching mean is $115,810 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 11 facts behind this Civil Engineers page
Area 11 reports 701,920 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $111,010. Its annual median is $91,540. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 17-2051 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in District of Columbia runs from $39,650 at the 10th percentile to $195,190 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $55,460. The median is $91,540. The 75th percentile is $144,680. This is a place check, not a pay range for Civil Engineers.
The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 11. They do not show related skills or a path into Civil Engineers.
1. Area 11, SOC 13-1199, Business Operations Specialists, All Other: 37,790 jobs, $108,160 annual median, 53.84 jobs per 1,000, and 7.7 location quotient.
2. Area 11, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 36,150 jobs, $168,000 annual median, 51.5 jobs per 1,000, and 2.29 location quotient.
3. Area 11, SOC 23-1011, Lawyers: 33,070 jobs, $195,190 annual median, 47.11 jobs per 1,000, and 9.71 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the District of Columbia wage ladder for Civil Engineers
The 10th percentile is $78,780 per year. The 25th percentile is $82,120 per year. The median is $103,880 per year. The 75th percentile is $130,720 per year. The 90th percentile is $164,200 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 $82,120 per year to $130,720 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $85,420. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare District of Columbia with its state and the U.S.
District of Columbia has a annual median of $103,880 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $100,840 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for District of Columbia. District of Columbia is 3.0% above 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 bench marks, 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 District of Columbia sits for Civil Engineers
District of Columbia ranks 10 of 53 among states and territories with a published annual median for Civil Engineers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 10 of 53 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.
7. New Jersey has a Civil Engineers median of $104,660 per year, 6,900 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.68.
8. Nevada has a Civil Engineers median of $104,310 per year, 3,560 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.97.
9. New Mexico has a Civil Engineers median of $103,900 per year, 1,350 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.66.
11. New York has a Civil Engineers median of $103,760 per year, 17,500 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.76.
Pay leaders
Where Civil Engineers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 17-2051, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. California has the highest published median in this set, at $122,500 per year. District of Columbia sits at $103,880 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Civil Engineers 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 care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. California has a Civil Engineers median of $122,500 per year, or $18,620 above District of Columbia. BLS lists 55,180 jobs there, compared with 1,650 in District of Columbia. The location quotient is 1.28.
2. Alaska has a Civil Engineers median of $114,730 per year, or $10,850 above District of Columbia. BLS lists 1,670 jobs there, compared with 1,650 in District of Columbia. The location quotient is 2.17.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Civil Engineers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Civil Engineers in this same-source set, at 55,180 jobs. District of Columbia has 1,650. 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.
1. California has 55,180 estimated Civil Engineers jobs, a gap of 53,530 jobs from District of Columbia. Its median is $122,500 per year, or $18,620 above District of Columbia. Its location quotient is 1.28.
2. Texas has 34,870 estimated Civil Engineers jobs, a gap of 33,220 jobs from District of Columbia. Its median is $96,860 per year, or $7,020 below District of Columbia. Its location quotient is 1.05.
Local-share leaders
Where Civil Engineers takes the largest share of local jobs
Guam (territory) has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 4.04. District of Columbia has 0.99. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.
Use this list to ask where Civil Engineers is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. Guam (territory) has a location quotient of 4.04, a gap of 3.05 from District of Columbia. BLS lists 640 Civil Engineers jobs and a median of $67,410 per year, or $36,470 below District of Columbia.
2. Alaska has a location quotient of 2.17, a gap of 1.18 from District of Columbia. BLS lists 1,670 Civil Engineers jobs and a median of $114,730 per year, or $10,850 above District of Columbia.
3. Colorado has a location quotient of 1.96, a gap of 0.97 from District of Columbia. BLS lists 13,290 Civil Engineers jobs and a median of $101,420 per year, or $2,460 below District of Columbia.
Job scale and share
How common Civil Engineers is in District of Columbia
BLS lists 1,650 Civil Engineers jobs in District of Columbia. It also lists 2.34 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 0.99. A value of 1 means Civil Engineers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same 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.
Civil Engineers beside other roles in District of Columbia
The all-occupations median in District of Columbia is $91,540 per year. The Civil Engineers median is $103,880 per year. Civil Engineers is 13.5% above the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for District of Columbia. 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 Civil Engineers. 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.
1. Project Management Specialists, SOC 13-1082, has a District of Columbia median of $104,900 per year. BLS lists 5,170 jobs and a location quotient of 1.07.
2. Public Relations Specialists, SOC 27-3031, has a District of Columbia median of $102,740 per year. BLS lists 16,720 jobs and a location quotient of 13.07.
3. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a District of Columbia median of $102,540 per year. BLS lists 11,440 jobs and a location quotient of 0.75.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in District of Columbia
Business Operations Specialists, All Other is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded District of Columbia table, at 37,790 jobs. Civil Engineers has 1,650 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 701,920. 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 Civil Engineers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has 37,790 jobs in District of Columbia, a gap of 36,140 from Civil Engineers. Its median is $108,160 per year, or $4,280 above Civil Engineers. Its location quotient is 7.7.
2. General and Operations Managers has 36,150 jobs in District of Columbia, a gap of 34,500 from Civil Engineers. Its median is $168,000 per year, or $64,120 above Civil Engineers. Its location quotient is 2.29.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around District of Columbia
Public Relations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded District of Columbia role table, at $197,600 per year. Civil Engineers has $103,880 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $91,540 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
1. Public Relations Managers has a median of $197,600 per year in District of Columbia, or $93,720 above Civil Engineers. BLS lists 7,410 jobs, compared with 1,650 for Civil Engineers. Its location quotient is 21.92.
2. Computer and Information Systems Managers has a median of $195,190 per year in District of Columbia, or $91,310 above Civil Engineers. BLS lists 5,690 jobs, compared with 1,650 for Civil Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.88.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in District of Columbia
Public Relations Managers has the highest location quotient in the bounded District of Columbia role table, at 21.92. Civil Engineers has 0.99. 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 Civil Engineers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Public Relations Managers has a location quotient of 21.92 in District of Columbia, a gap of 20.93 from Civil Engineers. BLS lists 7,410 jobs and a median of $197,600 per year, or $93,720 above Civil Engineers.
2. Public Relations Specialists has a location quotient of 13.07 in District of Columbia, a gap of 12.08 from Civil Engineers. BLS lists 16,720 jobs and a median of $102,740 per year, or $1,140 below Civil Engineers.
3. Lawyers has a location quotient of 9.71 in District of Columbia, a gap of 8.72 from Civil Engineers. BLS lists 33,070 jobs and a median of $195,190 per year, or $91,310 above Civil Engineers.
Price-level view
What $103,880 may mean after the District of Columbia price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for District of Columbia is 109.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 9.9% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $103,880 Civil Engineers median by 109.9 divided by 100. The result is $94,521 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 155.0. Goods are 106.5. Utilities are 112.8. Other services are 103.0. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
How much care to use with the District of Columbia row
The employment RSE for this Civil Engineers row is 21.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.8%. 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 1,650 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $115,810 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 District of Columbia wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Civil Engineers. It uses a District of Columbia 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 $103,880 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 Civil Engineers row for District of Columbia 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 1,650 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.99 is not a growth score. Rank 10 of 53 is not a place score. The 109.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 17-2051 in BLS area 11. 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.
BLS published an employment estimate of 1,650 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
