WageScope divides the published Dental Assistants 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 31-9091 and BLS area 31180.

0.9%
Lubbock, TX was 17.0% below the U.S. median for Dental Assistants. It ranked 345 of 388 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Dental Assistants median says in Lubbock, TX
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Dental Assistants median in Lubbock, TX at $39,900 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 31-9091 and BLS area 31180.
BLS lists 440 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 $41,380 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Lubbock, TX's Dental Assistants median is 17.0% below the U.S. Dental Assistants median of $48,070 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 31-9091 and area 31180. SOC 31-9091 names Dental Assistants. Area 31180 names Lubbock, TX. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 31-9091/31180 row reports 440 wage and salary jobs, 2.62 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.05 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 31-9091/31180, the annual median is $39,900 per year, while the matching mean is $41,380 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 31180 facts behind this Dental Assistants page
Area 31180 reports 166,780 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $53,850. Its annual median is $42,130. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 31-9091 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Lubbock, TX runs from $23,380 at the 10th percentile to $95,770 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $29,910. The median is $42,130. The 75th percentile is $63,510. This is a place check, not a pay range for Dental Assistants.
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 31180. They do not show related skills or a path into Dental Assistants.
1. Area 31180, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 7,930 jobs, $25,250 annual median, 47.55 jobs per 1,000, and 1.92 location quotient.
2. Area 31180, SOC 43-9061, Office Clerks, General: 5,440 jobs, $36,940 annual median, 32.65 jobs per 1,000, and 2.06 location quotient.
3. Area 31180, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 5,070 jobs, $81,480 annual median, 30.38 jobs per 1,000, and 1.4 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Lubbock, TX wage ladder for Dental Assistants
The 10th percentile is $31,660 per year. The 25th percentile is $36,280 per year. The median is $39,900 per year. The 75th percentile is $45,650 per year. The 90th percentile is $47,490 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 $36,280 per year to $45,650 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $15,830. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Lubbock, TX has a annual median of $39,900 per year. Texas has $45,430 per year. The U.S. row has $48,070 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Lubbock, TX is 12.2% below Texas on the same published median. Lubbock, TX is 17.0% 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.
Lubbock, TX ranks 345 of 388 among metro areas with a published annual median for Dental Assistants. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 345 of 388 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.
342. Decatur, AL has a Dental Assistants median of $40,440 per year, 90 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.6.
343. Wichita Falls, TX has a Dental Assistants median of $40,280 per year, 120 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.84.
344. Lake Charles, LA has a Dental Assistants median of $40,200 per year, 220 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.88.
346. Abilene, TX has a Dental Assistants median of $39,510 per year, 170 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.91.
Pay leaders
Where Dental Assistants medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 31-9091, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $74,600 per year. Lubbock, TX sits at $39,900 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Dental Assistants 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. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Dental Assistants median of $74,600 per year, or $34,700 above Lubbock, TX. BLS lists 2,870 jobs there, compared with 440 in Lubbock, TX. The location quotient is 1.01.
2. Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI has a Dental Assistants median of $72,370 per year, or $32,470 above Lubbock, TX. BLS lists 3,910 jobs there, compared with 440 in Lubbock, TX. The location quotient is 0.8.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Dental Assistants jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Dental Assistants in this same-source set, at 21,090 jobs. Lubbock, TX has 440. 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. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 21,090 estimated Dental Assistants jobs, a gap of 20,650 jobs from Lubbock, TX. Its median is $46,900 per year, or $7,000 above Lubbock, TX. Its location quotient is 1.35.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 20,870 estimated Dental Assistants jobs, a gap of 20,430 jobs from Lubbock, TX. Its median is $48,430 per year, or $8,530 above Lubbock, TX. Its location quotient is 0.88.
Local-share leaders
Where Dental Assistants takes the largest share of local jobs
Lake Havasu City-Kingman, AZ has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 2.62. Lubbock, TX has 1.05. 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 Dental Assistants 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. Lake Havasu City-Kingman, AZ has a location quotient of 2.62, a gap of 1.57 from Lubbock, TX. BLS lists 370 Dental Assistants jobs and a median of $47,070 per year, or $7,170 above Lubbock, TX.
2. Provo-Orem-Lehi, UT has a location quotient of 2.16, a gap of 1.11 from Lubbock, TX. BLS lists 1,640 Dental Assistants jobs and a median of $36,580 per year, or $3,320 below Lubbock, TX.
3. St. George, UT has a location quotient of 2.02, a gap of 0.97 from Lubbock, TX. BLS lists 460 Dental Assistants jobs and a median of $36,350 per year, or $3,550 below Lubbock, TX.
Job scale and share
How common Dental Assistants is in Lubbock, TX
BLS lists 440 Dental Assistants jobs in Lubbock, TX. It also lists 2.62 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 1.05. A value of 1 means Dental Assistants 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.
Dental Assistants beside other roles in Lubbock, TX
The all-occupations median in Lubbock, TX is $42,130 per year. The Dental Assistants median is $39,900 per year. Dental Assistants is 5.3% below 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 Lubbock, TX. 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 Dental Assistants. 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. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, SOC 43-6013, has a Lubbock, TX median of $39,560 per year. BLS lists 1,390 jobs and a location quotient of 1.35.
2. Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive, SOC 43-6014, has a Lubbock, TX median of $40,850 per year. BLS lists 1,910 jobs and a location quotient of 1.05.
3. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Lubbock, TX median of $41,750 per year. BLS lists 1,640 jobs and a location quotient of 1.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Lubbock, TX
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Lubbock, TX table, at 7,930 jobs. Dental Assistants has 440 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 166,780. 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 Dental Assistants's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 7,930 jobs in Lubbock, TX, a gap of 7,490 from Dental Assistants. Its median is $25,250 per year, or $14,650 below Dental Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.92.
2. Office Clerks, General has 5,440 jobs in Lubbock, TX, a gap of 5,000 from Dental Assistants. Its median is $36,940 per year, or $2,960 below Dental Assistants. Its location quotient is 2.06.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Lubbock, TX
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Lubbock, TX role table, at $81,480 per year. Dental Assistants has $39,900 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $42,130 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,480 per year in Lubbock, TX, or $41,580 above Dental Assistants. BLS lists 5,070 jobs, compared with 440 for Dental Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.4.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $80,870 per year in Lubbock, TX, or $40,970 above Dental Assistants. BLS lists 4,460 jobs, compared with 440 for Dental Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.19.
3. Teaching Assistants, Postsecondary has a median of $64,160 per year in Lubbock, TX, or $24,260 above Dental Assistants. BLS lists 1,830 jobs, compared with 440 for Dental Assistants. Its location quotient is 10.37.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Lubbock, TX
Teaching Assistants, Postsecondary has the highest location quotient in the bounded Lubbock, TX role table, at 10.37. Dental Assistants has 1.05. 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 Dental Assistants with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Teaching Assistants, Postsecondary has a location quotient of 10.37 in Lubbock, TX, a gap of 9.32 from Dental Assistants. BLS lists 1,830 jobs and a median of $64,160 per year, or $24,260 above Dental Assistants.
2. Office Clerks, General has a location quotient of 2.06 in Lubbock, TX, a gap of 1.01 from Dental Assistants. BLS lists 5,440 jobs and a median of $36,940 per year, or $2,960 below Dental Assistants.
3. Fast Food and Counter Workers has a location quotient of 1.92 in Lubbock, TX, a gap of 0.87 from Dental Assistants. BLS lists 7,930 jobs and a median of $25,250 per year, or $14,650 below Dental Assistants.
Price-level view
What $39,900 may mean after the Lubbock, TX price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Lubbock, TX is 91.3. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 8.7% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $39,900 Dental Assistants median by 91.3 divided by 100. The result is $43,694 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 76.4. Goods are 93.8. Utilities are 82.8. Other services are 96.2. 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 Dental Assistants row is 4.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.6%. 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 440 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $41,380 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 Dental Assistants. It uses a Lubbock, TX 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. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $39,900 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 Dental Assistants row for Lubbock, TX 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 440 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.05 is not a growth score. Rank 345 of 388 is not a place score. The 91.3 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 31-9091 in BLS area 31180. 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 440 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.
