Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area was 22.6% below the U.S. median for Home Health and Personal Care Aides. It ranked 109 of 137 nonmetro areas. We rank only areas with a published annual median. These pay gaps leave out prices, benefits, and skills. They also leave out the mix of firms and work hours.
What the Home Health and Personal Care Aides median says in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Home Health and Personal Care Aides median in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area at $27,700 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 31-1120 and BLS area 0100001.
BLS lists 680 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 $28,120 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area's Home Health and Personal Care Aides median is 22.6% below the U.S. Home Health and Personal Care Aides median of $35,800 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.
Exact source record
Read source key 31-1120 with area 0100001

Same-source checks
Compare Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $27,700 per year. Alabama has $27,840 per year. The U.S. row has $35,800 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area is 0.5% below Alabama on the same published median. Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area is 22.6% 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 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.
Like-for-like rank
Where Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area sits for Home Health and Personal Care Aides
Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area ranks 109 of 137 among nonmetro areas with a published annual median for Home Health and Personal Care Aides. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 109 of 137 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.
106. Northern West Virginia nonmetropolitan area. The Home Health and Personal Care Aides median is $28,010 per year. BLS estimates 4,870 jobs. The location quotient is 1.21.
107. Southwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area. The Home Health and Personal Care Aides median is $27,780 per year. BLS estimates 3,950 jobs. The location quotient is 1.23.
108. Northeast Alabama nonmetropolitan area. The Home Health and Personal Care Aides median is $27,730 per year. BLS estimates 1,350 jobs. The location quotient is 0.32.
Pay leaders
Where Home Health and Personal Care Aides medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 31-1120, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Eastern Washington nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $48,110 per year. Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area sits at $27,700 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Home Health and Personal Care Aides 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.
1. Eastern Washington nonmetropolitan area has a Home Health and Personal Care Aides median of $48,110 per year, or $20,410 above Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 3,200 jobs there, compared with 680 in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.06.
2. Western Washington nonmetropolitan area has a Home Health and Personal Care Aides median of $47,420 per year, or $19,720 above Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 4,690 jobs there, compared with 680 in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.3.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs
Southeast Missouri nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Home Health and Personal Care Aides in this same-source set, at 12,040 jobs. Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area has 680. 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. Southeast Missouri nonmetropolitan area has 12,040 estimated Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs, a gap of 11,360 jobs from Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $30,840 per year, or $3,140 above Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 2.64.
2. North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area has 10,140 estimated Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs, a gap of 9,460 jobs from Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $34,820 per year, or $7,120 above Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 3.34.
Local-share leaders
Where Home Health and Personal Care Aides takes the largest share of local jobs
North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 3.34. Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area has 0.36. 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 Home Health and Personal Care Aides 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. North Coast Region of California nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 3.34, a gap of 2.98 from Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 10,140 Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs and a median of $34,820 per year, or $7,120 above Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area.
2. Southeast Missouri nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.64, a gap of 2.28 from Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 12,040 Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs and a median of $30,840 per year, or $3,140 above Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Home Health and Personal Care Aides is in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 680 Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 10 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 0.36. A value of 1 means Home Health and Personal Care Aides 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.
Local job mix
Home Health and Personal Care Aides beside other roles in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area is $41,000 per year. The Home Health and Personal Care Aides median is $27,700 per year. Home Health and Personal Care Aides is 32.4% 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 Northwest Alabama 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 Home Health and Personal Care Aides. 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. Retail Salespersons, SOC 41-2031, has a Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area median of $29,000 per year. BLS lists 1,690 jobs and a location quotient of 1.
2. Cashiers, SOC 41-2011, has a Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area median of $26,390 per year. BLS lists 1,860 jobs and a location quotient of 1.38.

The largest detailed roles in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area
Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area table, at 4,500 jobs. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 680 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 67,570. 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 Home Health and Personal Care Aides's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has 4,500 jobs in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 3,820 from Home Health and Personal Care Aides. Its median is $42,260 per year, or $14,560 above Home Health and Personal Care Aides. Its location quotient is 7.36.
2. Cashiers has 1,860 jobs in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 1,180 from Home Health and Personal Care Aides. Its median is $26,390 per year, or $1,310 below Home Health and Personal Care Aides. Its location quotient is 1.38.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area role table, at $103,990 per year. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has $27,700 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $41,000 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 $103,990 per year in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area, or $76,290 above Home Health and Personal Care Aides. BLS lists 750 jobs, compared with 680 for Home Health and Personal Care Aides. Its location quotient is 0.49.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $64,540 per year in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area, or $36,840 above Home Health and Personal Care Aides. BLS lists 1,330 jobs, compared with 680 for Home Health and Personal Care Aides. Its location quotient is 0.9.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area
Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has the highest location quotient in the bounded Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area role table, at 8.51. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 0.36. 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 Home Health and Personal Care Aides with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic has a location quotient of 8.51 in Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 8.15 from Home Health and Personal Care Aides.

Price-level view
What $27,700 may mean after the Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $27,700 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 Home Health and Personal Care Aides 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.
Data care
How much care to use with the Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Home Health and Personal Care Aides row is 4.1%. 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 680 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $28,120 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.
Job and résumé path
Use Northwest Alabama nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Home Health and Personal Care Aides. It uses a Northwest Alabama 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 $27,700 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.
Limits
What the Home Health and Personal Care Aides row for Northwest Alabama 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 680 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.36 is not a growth score. Rank 109 of 137 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 31-1120 in BLS area 0100001. 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 estimates 680 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
