WageScope divides the published Roofers 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 47-2181 and BLS area 11700.

Roofers pay in Asheville, NC: common questions
What is the median wage for Roofers in Asheville, NC?

Asheville, NC was 10.4% below the U.S. median for Roofers. It ranked 141 of 265 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Roofers median in Asheville, NC at $49,680 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 47-2181 and BLS area 11700.
BLS lists 110 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 $51,090 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Asheville, NC's Roofers median is 10.4% below the U.S. Roofers median of $55,440 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 47-2181 and area 11700. SOC 47-2181 names Roofers. Area 11700 names Asheville, NC. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 47-2181/11700 row reports 110 wage and salary jobs, 0.59 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.67 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 47-2181/11700, the annual median is $49,680 per year, while the matching mean is $51,090 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 11700 reports 180,620 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $60,490. Its annual median is $46,870. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.6%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 47-2181 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Asheville, NC runs from $29,060 at the 10th percentile to $101,260 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $36,430. The median is $46,870. The 75th percentile is $65,820. This is a place check, not a pay range for Roofers.
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 11700. They do not show related skills or a path into Roofers.
1. Area 11700, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 5,570 jobs, $34,110 annual median, 30.86 jobs per 1,000, and 1.23 location quotient.
2. Area 11700, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 4,680 jobs, $81,590 annual median, 25.91 jobs per 1,000, and 1.19 location quotient.
3. Area 11700, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 4,240 jobs, $29,400 annual median, 23.45 jobs per 1,000, and 1.18 location quotient.
4. Area 11700, SOC 53-7065, Stockers and Order Fillers: 3,980 jobs, $37,120 annual median, 22.01 jobs per 1,000, and 1.21 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Asheville, NC wage ladder for Roofers
The 10th percentile is $35,210 per year. The 25th percentile is $44,710 per year. The median is $49,680 per year. The 75th percentile is $54,670 per year. The 90th percentile is $61,170 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 $44,710 per year to $54,670 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $25,960. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Asheville, NC has a annual median of $49,680 per year. North Carolina has $49,010 per year. The U.S. row has $55,440 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Asheville, NC is 1.4% above North Carolina on the same published median. Asheville, NC is 10.4% 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.
Asheville, NC ranks 141 of 265 among metro areas with a published annual median for Roofers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 141 of 265 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.
138. Colorado Springs, CO has a Roofers median of $49,830 per year, 310 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.12.
139. Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV has a Roofers median of $49,800 per year, 1,350 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.36.
140. Terre Haute, IN has a Roofers median of $49,700 per year, 80 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.46.
142. Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Kentwood, MI has a Roofers median of $49,630 per year, 380 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.74.
Pay leaders
Where Roofers medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 47-2181, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Worcester, MA has the highest published median in this set, at $105,270 per year. Asheville, NC sits at $49,680 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Roofers 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. Worcester, MA has a Roofers median of $105,270 per year, or $55,590 above Asheville, NC. BLS lists 350 jobs there, compared with 110 in Asheville, NC. The location quotient is 1.15.
2. Trenton-Princeton, NJ has a Roofers median of $82,100 per year, or $32,420 above Asheville, NC. BLS lists 140 jobs there, compared with 110 in Asheville, NC. The location quotient is 0.66.
3. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has a Roofers median of $82,090 per year, or $32,410 above Asheville, NC. BLS lists 3,900 jobs there, compared with 110 in Asheville, NC. The location quotient is 0.99.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Roofers jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Roofers in this same-source set, at 5,480 jobs. Asheville, NC has 110. 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 5,480 estimated Roofers jobs, a gap of 5,370 jobs from Asheville, NC. Its median is $63,560 per year, or $13,880 above Asheville, NC. Its location quotient is 1.
2. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL has 5,290 estimated Roofers jobs, a gap of 5,180 jobs from Asheville, NC. Its median is $48,030 per year, or $1,650 below Asheville, NC. Its location quotient is 2.15.
Local-share leaders
Where Roofers takes the largest share of local jobs
Sebastian-Vero Beach-West Vero Corridor, FL has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 9.05. Asheville, NC has 0.67. 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 Roofers 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. Sebastian-Vero Beach-West Vero Corridor, FL has a location quotient of 9.05, a gap of 8.38 from Asheville, NC. BLS lists 450 Roofers jobs and a median of $49,200 per year, or $480 below Asheville, NC.
2. Cape Coral-Fort Myers, FL has a location quotient of 7.17, a gap of 6.50 from Asheville, NC. BLS lists 1,900 Roofers jobs and a median of $46,890 per year, or $2,790 below Asheville, NC.
3. North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota, FL has a location quotient of 6.7, a gap of 6.03 from Asheville, NC. BLS lists 1,990 Roofers jobs and a median of $48,860 per year, or $820 below Asheville, NC.
Job scale and share
How common Roofers is in Asheville, NC
BLS lists 110 Roofers jobs in Asheville, NC. It also lists 0.59 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 0.67. A value of 1 means Roofers 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 Asheville, NC is $46,870 per year. The Roofers median is $49,680 per year. Roofers is 6.0% 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 Asheville, NC. 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 Roofers. 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. First-Line Supervisors of Retail Sales Workers, SOC 41-1011, has a Asheville, NC median of $49,410 per year. BLS lists 1,660 jobs and a location quotient of 1.27.
2. Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education, SOC 25-2021, has a Asheville, NC median of $50,080 per year. BLS lists 1,450 jobs and a location quotient of 0.9.
3. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks, SOC 43-3031, has a Asheville, NC median of $48,870 per year. BLS lists 2,200 jobs and a location quotient of 1.38.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Asheville, NC
Retail Salespersons is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Asheville, NC table, at 5,570 jobs. Roofers has 110 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 180,620. 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 Roofers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Retail Salespersons has 5,570 jobs in Asheville, NC, a gap of 5,460 from Roofers. Its median is $34,110 per year, or $15,570 below Roofers. Its location quotient is 1.23.
2. Registered Nurses has 4,680 jobs in Asheville, NC, a gap of 4,570 from Roofers. Its median is $81,590 per year, or $31,910 above Roofers. Its location quotient is 1.19.
3. Cashiers has 4,240 jobs in Asheville, NC, a gap of 4,130 from Roofers. Its median is $29,400 per year, or $20,280 below Roofers. Its location quotient is 1.18.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Asheville, NC
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Asheville, NC role table, at $93,470 per year. Roofers has $49,680 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,870 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 $93,470 per year in Asheville, NC, or $43,790 above Roofers. BLS lists 2,590 jobs, compared with 110 for Roofers. Its location quotient is 0.64.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,590 per year in Asheville, NC, or $31,910 above Roofers. BLS lists 4,680 jobs, compared with 110 for Roofers. Its location quotient is 1.19.
3. Accountants and Auditors has a median of $80,400 per year in Asheville, NC, or $30,720 above Roofers. BLS lists 1,540 jobs, compared with 110 for Roofers. Its location quotient is 0.91.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Asheville, NC
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded Asheville, NC role table, at 3.45. Roofers has 0.67. 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 Roofers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 3.45 in Asheville, NC, a gap of 2.78 from Roofers. BLS lists 2,570 jobs and a median of $28,120 per year, or $21,560 below Roofers.
2. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has a location quotient of 2.69 in Asheville, NC, a gap of 2.02 from Roofers. BLS lists 3,000 jobs and a median of $41,520 per year, or $8,160 below Roofers.
3. Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners has a location quotient of 1.72 in Asheville, NC, a gap of 1.05 from Roofers. BLS lists 1,720 jobs and a median of $30,680 per year, or $19,000 below Roofers.
Price-level view
What $49,680 may mean after the Asheville, NC price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Asheville, NC is 96.5. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.5% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $49,680 Roofers median by 96.5 divided by 100. The result is $51,479 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 93.4. Goods are 96.6. Utilities are 88.6. Other services are 98.2. 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 Roofers row is 11.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.3%. 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 110 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $51,090 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 Roofers. It uses a Asheville, NC 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 $49,680 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 Roofers row for Asheville, NC 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 110 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.67 is not a growth score. Rank 141 of 265 is not a place score. The 96.5 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 47-2181 in BLS area 11700. 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.
