What the Social and Human Service Assistants median says in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Social and Human Service Assistants median in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA at $51,710 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 21-1093 and BLS area 38900.
BLS lists 5,930 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 $52,950 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA's Social and Human Service Assistants median is 12.6% above the U.S. Social and Human Service Assistants median of $45,930 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.

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 Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA sits for Social and Human Service Assistants
Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA ranks 22 of 391 among metro areas with a published annual median for Social and Human Service Assistants. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 22 of 391 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.
19. Boulder, CO. The Social and Human Service Assistants median is $52,830 per year. BLS estimates 240 jobs. The location quotient is 0.44.
20. Yuba City, CA. The Social and Human Service Assistants median is $52,750 per year. BLS estimates 270 jobs. The location quotient is 1.86.

Pay leaders
Where Social and Human Service Assistants medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 21-1093, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Eau Claire, WI has the highest published median in this set, at $63,870 per year. Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA sits at $51,710 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Social and Human Service Assistants 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. Eau Claire, WI has a Social and Human Service Assistants median of $63,870 per year, or $12,160 above Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA. BLS lists 390 jobs there, compared with 5,930 in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA. The location quotient is 1.61.
2. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Social and Human Service Assistants median of $60,650 per year, or $8,940 above Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA. BLS lists 1,930 jobs there, compared with 5,930 in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA. The location quotient is 0.61.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Social and Human Service Assistants jobs
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Social and Human Service Assistants in this same-source set, at 35,540 jobs. Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA has 5,930. 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 35,540 estimated Social and Human Service Assistants jobs, a gap of 29,610 jobs from Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA. Its median is $47,860 per year, or $3,850 below Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA. Its location quotient is 1.33.

Local-share leaders
Where Social and Human Service Assistants takes the largest share of local jobs
Johnstown, PA has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 4.41. Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA has 1.74. 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 Social and Human Service Assistants 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. Johnstown, PA has a location quotient of 4.41, a gap of 2.67 from Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA. BLS lists 590 Social and Human Service Assistants jobs and a median of $41,450 per year, or $10,260 below Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA.
2. Corvallis, OR has a location quotient of 4.24, a gap of 2.50 from Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA. BLS lists 460 Social and Human Service Assistants jobs and a median of $45,590 per year, or $6,120 below Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA.

Job scale and share
How common Social and Human Service Assistants is in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA
BLS lists 5,930 Social and Human Service Assistants jobs in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA. It also lists 4.91 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 1.74. A value of 1 means Social and Human Service Assistants 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.
Local job mix
Social and Human Service Assistants beside other roles in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA
The all-occupations median in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA is $60,690 per year. The Social and Human Service Assistants median is $51,710 per year.

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA. 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 Social and Human Service Assistants. 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.

Social and Human Service Assistants has 5,930 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 1,208,410. 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 Social and Human Service Assistants's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 34,840 jobs in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA, a gap of 28,910 from Social and Human Service Assistants. Its median is $35,620 per year, or $16,090 below Social and Human Service Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.16.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA
Software Developers has the highest published median in the bounded Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA role table, at $156,000 per year. Social and Human Service Assistants has $51,710 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $60,690 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. Software Developers has a median of $156,000 per year in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA, or $104,290 above Social and Human Service Assistants. BLS lists 18,260 jobs, compared with 5,930 for Social and Human Service Assistants. Its location quotient is 1.39.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA
Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA role table, at 23.68. Social and Human Service Assistants has 1.74. 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 Social and Human Service Assistants with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other has a location quotient of 23.68 in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA, a gap of 21.94 from Social and Human Service Assistants. BLS lists 11,120 jobs and a median of $41,600 per year, or $10,110 below Social and Human Service Assistants.

Price-level view
What $51,710 may mean after the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA is 105.4. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 5.4% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $51,710 Social and Human Service Assistants median by 105.4 divided by 100. The result is $49,051 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 125.1. Goods are 105.2. Utilities are 107.0. Other services are 100.1. 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 Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA row
The employment RSE for this Social and Human Service Assistants row is 5.8%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.8%. 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 5,930 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $52,950 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 Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Social and Human Service Assistants. It uses a Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA 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 $51,710 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 Social and Human Service Assistants row for Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA 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 5,930 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.74 is not a growth score. Rank 22 of 391 is not a place score. The 105.4 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 21-1093 in BLS area 38900. 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 Social and Human Service Assistants jobs does BLS estimate in Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA?
