WageScope divides the published Materials Engineers 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 17-2131 and BLS area 48620.
Questions, answered
Materials Engineers pay in Wichita, KS: common questions
What is the median wage for Materials Engineers in Wichita, KS?

Wichita, KS was 11.4% below the U.S. median for Materials Engineers. It ranked 65 of 90 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Materials Engineers median says in Wichita, KS
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Materials Engineers median in Wichita, KS at $100,000 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 17-2131 and BLS area 48620.
BLS lists 190 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 $114,110 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Wichita, KS's Materials Engineers median is 11.4% below the U.S. Materials Engineers median of $112,860 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 17-2131 and area 48620. SOC 17-2131 names Materials Engineers. Area 48620 names Wichita, KS. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 17-2131/48620 row reports 190 wage and salary jobs, 0.62 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 4.25 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 17-2131/48620, the annual median is $100,000 per year, while the matching mean is $114,110 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 48620 facts behind this Materials Engineers page
Area 48620 reports 308,570 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $58,830. Its annual median is $47,630. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.5%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 17-2131 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Wichita, KS runs from $27,860 at the 10th percentile to $99,380 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,160. The median is $47,630. The 75th percentile is $70,740. This is a place check, not a pay range for Materials Engineers.
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 48620. They do not show related skills or a path into Materials Engineers.
1. Area 48620, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 11,580 jobs, $27,420 annual median, 37.53 jobs per 1,000, and 1.51 location quotient.
2. Area 48620, SOC 51-2011, Aircraft Structure, Surfaces, Rigging, and Systems Assemblers: 9,460 jobs, $59,850 annual median, 30.66 jobs per 1,000, and 140.11 location quotient.
3. Area 48620, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 7,530 jobs, $30,760 annual median, 24.41 jobs per 1,000, and 0.97 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Wichita, KS wage ladder for Materials Engineers
The 10th percentile is $83,460 per year. The 25th percentile is $83,860 per year. The median is $100,000 per year. The 75th percentile is $135,880 per year. The 90th percentile is $157,370 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 $83,860 per year to $135,880 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $73,910. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Wichita, KS has a annual median of $100,000 per year. Kansas has $100,000 per year. The U.S. row has $112,860 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Wichita, KS and Kansas have the same published median after rounding. Wichita, KS is 11.4% 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.
Wichita, KS ranks 65 of 90 among metro areas with a published annual median for Materials Engineers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 65 of 90 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.
62. Louisville/Jefferson County, KY-IN has a Materials Engineers median of $100,420 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.44.
63. Canton-Massillon, OH has a Materials Engineers median of $100,250 per year, 30 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.3.
64. Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI has a Materials Engineers median of $100,070 per year, 460 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.64.
66. Birmingham, AL has a Materials Engineers median of $99,780 per year, 120 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.55.
Pay leaders
Where Materials Engineers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 17-2131, 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 $156,730 per year. Wichita, KS sits at $100,000 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Materials Engineers 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 Materials Engineers median of $156,730 per year, or $56,730 above Wichita, KS. BLS lists 550 jobs there, compared with 190 in Wichita, KS. The location quotient is 3.32.
2. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA has a Materials Engineers median of $156,130 per year, or $56,130 above Wichita, KS. BLS lists 820 jobs there, compared with 190 in Wichita, KS. The location quotient is 2.68.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Materials Engineers jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Materials Engineers in this same-source set, at 1,250 jobs. Wichita, KS has 190. 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 1,250 estimated Materials Engineers jobs, a gap of 1,060 jobs from Wichita, KS. Its median is $125,200 per year, or $25,200 above Wichita, KS. Its location quotient is 1.37.
2. Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH has 1,020 estimated Materials Engineers jobs, a gap of 830 jobs from Wichita, KS. Its median is $111,480 per year, or $11,480 above Wichita, KS. Its location quotient is 2.58.
Local-share leaders
Where Materials Engineers takes the largest share of local jobs
Boulder, CO has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 7.58. Wichita, KS has 4.25. 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 Materials Engineers 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. Boulder, CO has a location quotient of 7.58, a gap of 3.33 from Wichita, KS. BLS lists 210 Materials Engineers jobs and a median of $151,940 per year, or $51,940 above Wichita, KS.
2. Huntsville, AL has a location quotient of 7.07, a gap of 2.82 from Wichita, KS. BLS lists 280 Materials Engineers jobs and a median of $120,720 per year, or $20,720 above Wichita, KS.
3. Toledo, OH has a location quotient of 6, a gap of 1.75 from Wichita, KS. BLS lists 260 Materials Engineers jobs and a median of $110,620 per year, or $10,620 above Wichita, KS.
Job scale and share
How common Materials Engineers is in Wichita, KS
BLS lists 190 Materials Engineers jobs in Wichita, KS. It also lists 0.62 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 4.25. A value of 1 means Materials Engineers 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.
Materials Engineers beside other roles in Wichita, KS
The all-occupations median in Wichita, KS is $47,630 per year. The Materials Engineers median is $100,000 per year. Materials Engineers is 110.0% 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 Wichita, KS. 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 Materials Engineers. 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 Wichita, KS median of $85,230 per year. BLS lists 5,060 jobs and a location quotient of 0.73.
2. Industrial Machinery Mechanics, SOC 49-9041, has a Wichita, KS median of $83,540 per year. BLS lists 2,470 jobs and a location quotient of 2.83.
3. Accountants and Auditors, SOC 13-2011, has a Wichita, KS median of $79,270 per year. BLS lists 3,120 jobs and a location quotient of 1.08.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Wichita, KS
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Wichita, KS table, at 11,580 jobs. Materials Engineers has 190 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 308,570. 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 Materials Engineers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 11,580 jobs in Wichita, KS, a gap of 11,390 from Materials Engineers. Its median is $27,420 per year, or $72,580 below Materials Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.51.
2. Aircraft Structure, Surfaces, Rigging, and Systems Assemblers has 9,460 jobs in Wichita, KS, a gap of 9,270 from Materials Engineers. Its median is $59,850 per year, or $40,150 below Materials Engineers. Its location quotient is 140.11.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Wichita, KS
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Wichita, KS role table, at $85,230 per year. Materials Engineers has $100,000 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,630 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 $85,230 per year in Wichita, KS, or $14,770 below Materials Engineers. BLS lists 5,060 jobs, compared with 190 for Materials Engineers. Its location quotient is 0.73.
2. Industrial Machinery Mechanics has a median of $83,540 per year in Wichita, KS, or $16,460 below Materials Engineers. BLS lists 2,470 jobs, compared with 190 for Materials Engineers. Its location quotient is 2.83.
3. Accountants and Auditors has a median of $79,270 per year in Wichita, KS, or $20,730 below Materials Engineers. BLS lists 3,120 jobs, compared with 190 for Materials Engineers. Its location quotient is 1.08.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Wichita, KS
Aircraft Structure, Surfaces, Rigging, and Systems Assemblers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Wichita, KS role table, at 140.11. Materials Engineers has 4.25. 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 Materials Engineers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Aircraft Structure, Surfaces, Rigging, and Systems Assemblers has a location quotient of 140.11 in Wichita, KS, a gap of 135.86 from Materials Engineers. BLS lists 9,460 jobs and a median of $59,850 per year, or $40,150 below Materials Engineers.
2. Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers has a location quotient of 3.03 in Wichita, KS, a gap of 1.22 from Materials Engineers. BLS lists 3,590 jobs and a median of $63,030 per year, or $36,970 below Materials Engineers.
Price-level view
What $100,000 may mean after the Wichita, KS price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Wichita, KS is 88.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 11.1% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $100,000 Materials Engineers median by 88.9 divided by 100. The result is $112,428 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 66.2. Goods are 94.0. Utilities are 88.5. Other services are 93.8. 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 Materials Engineers row is 4.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.8%. 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 190 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $114,110 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 Materials Engineers. It uses a Wichita, KS 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 $100,000 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 Materials Engineers row for Wichita, KS 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 190 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 4.25 is not a growth score. Rank 65 of 90 is not a place score. The 88.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 17-2131 in BLS area 48620. 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 190 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.
