Like-for-like rank
Where Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV sits for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV ranks 27 of 295 among metro areas with a published annual median for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 27 of 295 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.
24. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. The Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers median is $78,410 per year. BLS estimates 9,380 jobs. The location quotient is 1.75.

Pay leaders
Where Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 21-1023, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Vallejo, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $122,930 per year. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV sits at $78,210 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers 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. Vallejo, CA has a Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers median of $122,930 per year, or $44,720 above Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV. BLS lists 120 jobs there, compared with 2,180 in Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV. The location quotient is 0.96.
2. Cheyenne, WY has a Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers median of $118,900 per year, or $40,690 above Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV. BLS lists 30 jobs there, compared with 2,180 in Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV. The location quotient is 0.76.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers in this same-source set, at 12,090 jobs. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has 2,180. 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. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 12,090 estimated Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers jobs, a gap of 9,910 jobs from Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV.

Local-share leaders
Where Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers takes the largest share of local jobs
Bangor, ME has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 4.25. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV has 0.81. 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 Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers 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. Bangor, ME has a location quotient of 4.25, a gap of 3.44 from Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV. BLS lists 260 Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers jobs and a median of $60,700 per year, or $17,510 below Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV.

Job scale and share
How common Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers is in Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV
BLS lists 2,180 Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers jobs in Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV. It also lists 0.69 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 0.81. A value of 1 means Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers 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 nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV. 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 Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers. 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 3,136,190. 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 Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.

Lawyers has the highest published median in the bounded Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV role table, at $195,190 per year. Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers has $78,210 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $71,060 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. Lawyers has a median of $195,190 per year in Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV, or $116,980 above Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers. BLS lists 46,840 jobs, compared with 2,180 for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers. Its location quotient is 3.08.

Area role shares

Business Operations Specialists, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV role table, at 3.49. Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers has 0.81. 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 Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Business Operations Specialists, All Other has a location quotient of 3.49 in Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV, a gap of 2.68 from Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers.

Price-level view
What $78,210 may mean after the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV is 108.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 8.9% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $78,210 Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers median by 108.9 divided by 100. The result is $71,829 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 151.1. Goods are 104.8. Utilities are 106.7. Other services are 102.3. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV row
The employment RSE for this Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers row is 10.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.2%. 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 2,180 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $83,640 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 Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers. It uses a Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV 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 $78,210 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 Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers row for Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV 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 2,180 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.81 is not a growth score. Rank 27 of 295 is not a place score. The 108.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 21-1023 in BLS area 47900. 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.
How many Mental Health and Substance Abuse Social Workers jobs does BLS estimate in Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV?
