Tennessee was 16.6% below the U.S. median for Data Scientists. It ranked 31 of 50 state areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
Price-level context
What the local median may buy
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Tennessee was 91.9, or 8.1% below the national price level. Its housing index was 79.1.

WageScope divides the published Data Scientists median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 15-2051 and BLS area 47.
Questions, answered
Data Scientists pay in Tennessee: common questions
What is the median wage for Data Scientists in Tennessee?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $100,330 per year for Data Scientists in Tennessee. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Data Scientists pay higher in Tennessee than nationally?
Tennessee's published median was 16.6% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in Tennessee?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 91.9 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.
How many Data Scientists jobs does BLS estimate in Tennessee?
BLS published an employment estimate of 2,790 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
From market data to your evidence
Tailor for a real Data Scientists job, not a generic wage number.
Pick an eligible listing, then MeritLog can help you prepare from experience you have confirmed. WageScope never turns a BLS estimate into a qualification or résumé claim.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Data Scientists median in Tennessee at $100,330 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 15-2051 and BLS area 47.
BLS lists 2,790 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 $105,200 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Tennessee's Data Scientists median is 16.6% below the U.S. Data Scientists median of $120,230 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 15-2051 and area 47. SOC 15-2051 names Data Scientists. Area 47 names Tennessee. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 15-2051/47 row reports 2,790 wage and salary jobs, 0.85 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.5 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 15-2051/47, the annual median is $100,330 per year, while the matching mean is $105,200 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 47 facts behind this Data Scientists page
Area 47 reports 3,278,760 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $60,800. Its annual median is $47,380. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 15-2051 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Tennessee runs from $28,600 at the 10th percentile to $103,130 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,830. The median is $47,380. The 75th percentile is $71,050. This is a place check, not a pay range for Data Scientists.
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 47. They do not show related skills or a path into Data Scientists.
1. Area 47, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 105,870 jobs, $38,160 annual median, 32.29 jobs per 1,000, and 1.7 location quotient.
2. Area 47, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 90,690 jobs, $27,470 annual median, 27.66 jobs per 1,000, and 1.12 location quotient.
3. Area 47, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 87,380 jobs, $31,950 annual median, 26.65 jobs per 1,000, and 1.06 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Tennessee wage ladder for Data Scientists
The 10th percentile is $60,200 per year. The 25th percentile is $77,770 per year. The median is $100,330 per year. The 75th percentile is $131,930 per year. The 90th percentile is $156,160 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 $77,770 per year to $131,930 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $95,960. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Tennessee has a annual median of $100,330 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $120,230 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Tennessee. Tennessee is 16.6% 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 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.
Tennessee ranks 31 of 50 among states and territories with a published annual median for Data Scientists. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 31 of 50 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.
28. New Hampshire has a Data Scientists median of $100,620 per year, 1,100 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.95.
29. Michigan has a Data Scientists median of $100,590 per year, 7,360 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.99.
30. Montana has a Data Scientists median of $100,490 per year, 220 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.25.
32. Nevada has a Data Scientists median of $98,540 per year, 1,680 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.64.
Pay leaders
Where Data Scientists medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 15-2051, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Washington has the highest published median in this set, at $163,350 per year. Tennessee sits at $100,330 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Data Scientists 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. Washington has a Data Scientists median of $163,350 per year, or $63,020 above Tennessee. BLS lists 9,600 jobs there, compared with 2,790 in Tennessee. The location quotient is 1.6.
2. California has a Data Scientists median of $141,590 per year, or $41,260 above Tennessee. BLS lists 39,310 jobs there, compared with 2,790 in Tennessee. The location quotient is 1.28.
3. Maryland has a Data Scientists median of $136,370 per year, or $36,040 above Tennessee. BLS lists 3,340 jobs there, compared with 2,790 in Tennessee. The location quotient is 0.72.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Data Scientists jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Data Scientists in this same-source set, at 39,310 jobs. Tennessee has 2,790. 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 39,310 estimated Data Scientists jobs, a gap of 36,520 jobs from Tennessee. Its median is $141,590 per year, or $41,260 above Tennessee. Its location quotient is 1.28.
2. Texas has 25,860 estimated Data Scientists jobs, a gap of 23,070 jobs from Tennessee. Its median is $122,090 per year, or $21,760 above Tennessee. Its location quotient is 1.09.
3. New York has 23,970 estimated Data Scientists jobs, a gap of 21,180 jobs from Tennessee. Its median is $130,460 per year, or $30,130 above Tennessee. Its location quotient is 1.47.
Local-share leaders
Where Data Scientists takes the largest share of local jobs
District of Columbia has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.27. Tennessee has 0.5. 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 Data Scientists 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. District of Columbia has a location quotient of 2.27, a gap of 1.77 from Tennessee. BLS lists 2,680 Data Scientists jobs and a median of $126,490 per year, or $26,160 above Tennessee.
2. Washington has a location quotient of 1.6, a gap of 1.10 from Tennessee. BLS lists 9,600 Data Scientists jobs and a median of $163,350 per year, or $63,020 above Tennessee.
3. Massachusetts has a location quotient of 1.53, a gap of 1.03 from Tennessee. BLS lists 9,420 Data Scientists jobs and a median of $131,750 per year, or $31,420 above Tennessee.
Job scale and share
How common Data Scientists is in Tennessee
BLS lists 2,790 Data Scientists jobs in Tennessee. It also lists 0.85 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 0.5. A value of 1 means Data Scientists has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is lower 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.
The all-occupations median in Tennessee is $47,380 per year. The Data Scientists median is $100,330 per year. Data Scientists is 111.8% 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 Tennessee. 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 Data Scientists. 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. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Tennessee median of $106,970 per year. BLS lists 63,720 jobs and a location quotient of 0.86.
2. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Tennessee median of $81,500 per year. BLS lists 72,200 jobs and a location quotient of 1.01.
3. Accountants and Auditors, SOC 13-2011, has a Tennessee median of $76,840 per year. BLS lists 27,340 jobs and a location quotient of 0.89.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Tennessee
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Tennessee table, at 105,870 jobs. Data Scientists has 2,790 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 3,278,760. 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 Data Scientists's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 105,870 jobs in Tennessee, a gap of 103,080 from Data Scientists. Its median is $38,160 per year, or $62,170 below Data Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.7.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 90,690 jobs in Tennessee, a gap of 87,900 from Data Scientists. Its median is $27,470 per year, or $72,860 below Data Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.12.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Tennessee
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Tennessee role table, at $106,970 per year. Data Scientists has $100,330 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,380 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $106,970 per year in Tennessee, or $6,640 above Data Scientists. BLS lists 63,720 jobs, compared with 2,790 for Data Scientists. Its location quotient is 0.86.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,500 per year in Tennessee, or $18,830 below Data Scientists. BLS lists 72,200 jobs, compared with 2,790 for Data Scientists. Its location quotient is 1.01.
3. Accountants and Auditors has a median of $76,840 per year in Tennessee, or $23,490 below Data Scientists. BLS lists 27,340 jobs, compared with 2,790 for Data Scientists. Its location quotient is 0.89.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Tennessee
Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has the highest location quotient in the bounded Tennessee role table, at 2.06. Data Scientists has 0.5. 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 Data Scientists with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has a location quotient of 2.06 in Tennessee, a gap of 1.56 from Data Scientists. BLS lists 41,810 jobs and a median of $39,940 per year, or $60,390 below Data Scientists.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 1.98 in Tennessee, a gap of 1.48 from Data Scientists. BLS lists 58,760 jobs and a median of $44,630 per year, or $55,700 below Data Scientists.
3. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has a location quotient of 1.7 in Tennessee, a gap of 1.20 from Data Scientists. BLS lists 105,870 jobs and a median of $38,160 per year, or $62,170 below Data Scientists.
Price-level view
What $100,330 may mean after the Tennessee price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Tennessee is 91.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 8.1% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $100,330 Data Scientists median by 91.9 divided by 100. The result is $109,209 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 79.1. Goods are 96.2. Utilities are 72.1. Other services are 95.1. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Data Scientists row is 6.3%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.4%. 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 2,790 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $105,200 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.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Data Scientists. It uses a Tennessee 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 $100,330 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 Data Scientists row for Tennessee 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 2,790 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.5 is not a growth score. Rank 31 of 50 is not a place score. The 91.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 15-2051 in BLS area 47. 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.
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.
