BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Niles, MI was 92.4, or 7.6% below the national price level. Its housing index was 71.6.
National-price-dollar proxy

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 35660.

Niles, MI was 4.0% below the U.S. median for Dental Assistants. It ranked 247 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 Niles, MI
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Dental Assistants median in Niles, MI at $46,170 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 35660.
BLS lists 130 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 $49,500 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Niles, MI's Dental Assistants median is 4.0% 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 35660. SOC 31-9091 names Dental Assistants. Area 35660 names Niles, MI. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 31-9091/35660 row reports 130 wage and salary jobs, 2.16 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.87 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 31-9091/35660, the annual median is $46,170 per year, while the matching mean is $49,500 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 35660 facts behind this Dental Assistants page
Area 35660 reports 59,970 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $58,170. Its annual median is $45,980. 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 Niles, MI runs from $29,020 at the 10th percentile to $102,130 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,260. The median is $45,980. The 75th percentile is $66,230. 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 35660. They do not show related skills or a path into Dental Assistants.
1. Area 35660, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 1,670 jobs, $27,740 annual median, 27.85 jobs per 1,000, and 1.12 location quotient.
2. Area 35660, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 1,610 jobs, $29,550 annual median, 26.92 jobs per 1,000, and 1.35 location quotient.
3. Area 35660, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 1,590 jobs, $34,170 annual median, 26.44 jobs per 1,000, and 1.05 location quotient.

Pay range
Read the Niles, MI wage ladder for Dental Assistants
The 10th percentile is $39,100 per year. The 25th percentile is $45,250 per year. The median is $46,170 per year. The 75th percentile is $55,660 per year. The 90th percentile is $58,030 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 $45,250 per year to $55,660 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $18,930. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Niles, MI has a annual median of $46,170 per year. Michigan has $48,820 per year. The U.S. row has $48,070 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Niles, MI is 5.4% below Michigan on the same published median. Niles, MI is 4.0% 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.
Niles, MI ranks 247 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 247 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.
244. State College, PA has a Dental Assistants median of $46,210 per year, 150 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.85.
245. Chambersburg, PA has a Dental Assistants median of $46,200 per year, 120 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.8.
246. Pensacola-Ferry Pass-Brent, FL has a Dental Assistants median of $46,180 per year, 550 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.17.
248. Wildwood-The Villages, FL has a Dental Assistants median of $46,120 per year, 150 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.5.
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. Niles, MI sits at $46,170 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 $28,430 above Niles, MI. BLS lists 2,870 jobs there, compared with 130 in Niles, MI. The location quotient is 1.01.
2. Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI has a Dental Assistants median of $72,370 per year, or $26,200 above Niles, MI. BLS lists 3,910 jobs there, compared with 130 in Niles, MI. 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. Niles, MI has 130. 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 20,960 jobs from Niles, MI. Its median is $46,900 per year, or $730 above Niles, MI. Its location quotient is 1.35.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 20,870 estimated Dental Assistants jobs, a gap of 20,740 jobs from Niles, MI. Its median is $48,430 per year, or $2,260 above Niles, MI. 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. Niles, MI has 0.87. 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 1.75 from Niles, MI. BLS lists 370 Dental Assistants jobs and a median of $47,070 per year, or $900 above Niles, MI.
2. Provo-Orem-Lehi, UT has a location quotient of 2.16, a gap of 1.29 from Niles, MI. BLS lists 1,640 Dental Assistants jobs and a median of $36,580 per year, or $9,590 below Niles, MI.
3. St. George, UT has a location quotient of 2.02, a gap of 1.15 from Niles, MI. BLS lists 460 Dental Assistants jobs and a median of $36,350 per year, or $9,820 below Niles, MI.
Job scale and share
How common Dental Assistants is in Niles, MI
BLS lists 130 Dental Assistants jobs in Niles, MI. It also lists 2.16 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 0.87. A value of 1 means Dental Assistants 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 Niles, MI is $45,980 per year. The Dental Assistants median is $46,170 per year. Dental Assistants is 0.4% 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 Niles, MI. 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. Bus Drivers, School, SOC 53-3051, has a Niles, MI median of $47,210 per year. BLS lists 580 jobs and a location quotient of 3.75.
2. First-Line Supervisors of Retail Sales Workers, SOC 41-1011, has a Niles, MI median of $44,440 per year. BLS lists 500 jobs and a location quotient of 1.15.
3. Maintenance and Repair Workers, General, SOC 49-9071, has a Niles, MI median of $44,310 per year. BLS lists 530 jobs and a location quotient of 0.9.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Niles, MI
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Niles, MI table, at 1,670 jobs. Dental Assistants has 130 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 59,970. 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 1,670 jobs in Niles, MI, a gap of 1,540 from Dental Assistants. Its median is $27,740 per year, or $18,430 below Dental Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.12.
2. Cashiers has 1,610 jobs in Niles, MI, a gap of 1,480 from Dental Assistants. Its median is $29,550 per year, or $16,620 below Dental Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.35.
3. Retail Salespersons has 1,590 jobs in Niles, MI, a gap of 1,460 from Dental Assistants. Its median is $34,170 per year, or $12,000 below Dental Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.05.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Niles, MI
Mechanical Engineers has the highest published median in the bounded Niles, MI role table, at $106,320 per year. Dental Assistants has $46,170 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,980 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. Mechanical Engineers has a median of $106,320 per year in Niles, MI, or $60,150 above Dental Assistants. BLS lists 550 jobs, compared with 130 for Dental Assistants. Its location quotient is 4.84.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $85,850 per year in Niles, MI, or $39,680 above Dental Assistants. BLS lists 1,100 jobs, compared with 130 for Dental Assistants. Its location quotient is 0.82.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers has a median of $72,720 per year in Niles, MI, or $26,550 above Dental Assistants. BLS lists 480 jobs, compared with 130 for Dental Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.83.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Niles, MI
Mechanical Engineers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Niles, MI role table, at 4.84. Dental Assistants has 0.87. 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. Mechanical Engineers has a location quotient of 4.84 in Niles, MI, a gap of 3.97 from Dental Assistants. BLS lists 550 jobs and a median of $106,320 per year, or $60,150 above Dental Assistants.
2. Machinists has a location quotient of 4.81 in Niles, MI, a gap of 3.94 from Dental Assistants. BLS lists 530 jobs and a median of $50,430 per year, or $4,260 above Dental Assistants.
3. Bus Drivers, School has a location quotient of 3.75 in Niles, MI, a gap of 2.88 from Dental Assistants. BLS lists 580 jobs and a median of $47,210 per year, or $1,040 above Dental Assistants.
Price-level view
What $46,170 may mean after the Niles, MI price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Niles, MI is 92.4. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.6% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $46,170 Dental Assistants median by 92.4 divided by 100. The result is $49,984 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 71.6. Goods are 93.7. Utilities are 96.0. Other services are 99.6. 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 8.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.5%. 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 130 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $49,500 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 Niles, MI 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 $46,170 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 Niles, MI 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 130 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.87 is not a growth score. Rank 247 of 388 is not a place score. The 92.4 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 35660. 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.
