Home Health and Personal Care Aides in Twin Falls, ID: wage guide
Use the local pay range, same-source pay figures, job scale, price level, and survey limits as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 31-1120 and BLS area 46300.
What the Home Health and Personal Care Aides median says in Twin Falls, ID
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Home Health and Personal Care Aides median in Twin Falls, ID at $29,960 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 46300.
BLS lists 1,280 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 $31,590 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Twin Falls, ID's Home Health and Personal Care Aides median is 16.3% 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.

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 $27,490 per year to $35,170 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $9,760. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Compare Twin Falls, ID with its state and the U.S.
Twin Falls, ID has a annual median of $29,960 per year. Idaho has $34,790 per year. The U.S. row has $35,800 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Twin Falls, ID is 13.9% below Idaho on the same published median. Twin Falls, ID is 16.3% 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.
Where Twin Falls, ID sits for Home Health and Personal Care Aides
Twin Falls, ID ranks 277 of 392 among metro 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 277 of 392 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.

Where Home Health and Personal Care Aides medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 31-1120, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Grants Pass, OR has the highest published median in this set, at $53,120 per year. Twin Falls, ID sits at $29,960 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.

Where BLS counts the most Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Home Health and Personal Care Aides in this same-source set, at 644,700 jobs. Twin Falls, ID has 1,280. 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.

How common Home Health and Personal Care Aides is in Twin Falls, ID
BLS lists 1,280 Home Health and Personal Care Aides jobs in Twin Falls, ID. It also lists 25.38 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 0.92. 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.
Home Health and Personal Care Aides beside other roles in Twin Falls, ID

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Twin Falls, ID. 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.

The all-occupations job count is 50,300. 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.

The local all-occupations median is $45,400 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.

What $29,960 may mean after the Twin Falls, ID price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Twin Falls, ID is 92.1. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 7.9% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $29,960 Home Health and Personal Care Aides median by 92.1 divided by 100. The result is $32,527 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 73.8. Goods are 96.2. Utilities are 70.0. Other services are 99.0. 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 Twin Falls, ID row
The employment RSE for this Home Health and Personal Care Aides row is 8.7%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.5%. 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 1,280 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $31,590 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 Twin Falls, ID wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Home Health and Personal Care Aides. It uses a Twin Falls, ID 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 $29,960 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 Home Health and Personal Care Aides row for Twin Falls, ID 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 1,280 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.92 is not a growth score. Rank 277 of 392 is not a place score. The 92.1 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 46300. 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.
