What the Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors median says in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors median in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX at $65,370 per year.

BLS lists 420 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 $64,520 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

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 32580. They do not show related skills or a path into Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors.

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 McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX sits for Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX ranks 59 of 387 among metro areas with a published annual median for Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 59 of 387 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.
56. Carson City, NV. The Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors median is $66,000 per year. BLS estimates 40 jobs. The location quotient is 0.41.
57. Trenton-Princeton, NJ. The Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors median is $65,940 per year. BLS estimates 1,370 jobs. The location quotient is 1.8.

Pay leaders
Where Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 21-1018, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Fairbanks-College, AK has the highest published median in this set, at $83,680 per year. McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX sits at $65,370 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors 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. Fairbanks-College, AK has a Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors median of $83,680 per year, or $18,310 above McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX. BLS lists 100 jobs there, compared with 420 in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX. The location quotient is 0.91.
2. Anchorage, AK has a Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors median of $81,120 per year, or $15,750 above McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX. BLS lists 810 jobs there, compared with 420 in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX. The location quotient is 1.44.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors jobs
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has the largest published metro job estimate for Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors in this same-source set, at 26,960 jobs. McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX has 420. 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 26,960 estimated Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors jobs, a gap of 26,540 jobs from McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX. Its median is $51,910 per year, or $13,460 below McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX. Its location quotient is 1.36.
2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 26,200 estimated Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors jobs, a gap of 25,780 jobs from McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX. Its median is $61,020 per year, or $4,350 below McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX. Its location quotient is 0.87.
Local-share leaders
Where Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors takes the largest share of local jobs
Bloomington, IN has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 4.13. McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX has 0.45. 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 Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors 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. Bloomington, IN has a location quotient of 4.13, a gap of 3.68 from McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX. BLS lists 960 Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors jobs and a median of $52,710 per year, or $12,660 below McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX.
2. Pueblo, CO has a location quotient of 3.6, a gap of 3.15 from McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX. BLS lists 700 Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors jobs and a median of $58,380 per year, or $6,990 below McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX.
Job scale and share
How common Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors is in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX
BLS lists 420 Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors jobs in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX. It also lists 1.41 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 0.45. A value of 1 means Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors 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.
Local job mix
Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors beside other roles in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX
The all-occupations median in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX is $35,830 per year. The Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors median is $65,370 per year. Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors is 82.4% 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 McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX. 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 Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors. 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. Elementary School Teachers, Except Special Education, SOC 25-2021, has a McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX median of $63,110 per year. BLS lists 4,090 jobs and a location quotient of 1.55.

Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX table, at 46,380 jobs. Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors has 420 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 296,700. 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 Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 46,380 jobs in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX, a gap of 45,960 from Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX role table, at $80,540 per year. Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors has $65,370 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $35,830 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. Registered Nurses has a median of $80,540 per year in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX, or $15,170 above Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors. BLS lists 5,400 jobs, compared with 420 for Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors. Its location quotient is 0.84.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $74,570 per year in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX, or $9,200 above Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX
Home Health and Personal Care Aides has the highest location quotient in the bounded McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX role table, at 5.65. Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors has 0.45. 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 Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has a location quotient of 5.65 in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX, a gap of 5.20 from Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors.

Price-level view
What $65,370 may mean after the McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX is 85.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 14.1% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $65,370 Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors median by 85.9 divided by 100. The result is $76,105 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 55.9. Goods are 93.8. Utilities are 81.2. Other services are 96.2. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX row
The employment RSE for this Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors row is 14.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 3.7%. 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 420 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $64,520 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 McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors. It uses a McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX 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 $65,370 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 Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors row for McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX 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 420 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.45 is not a growth score. Rank 59 of 387 is not a place score. The 85.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 21-1018 in BLS area 32580. 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 Substance Abuse, Behavioral Disorder, and Mental Health Counselors jobs does BLS estimate in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX?
BLS estimates 420 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. We show job posts in a separate list. Each has its own source and check date. Posted pay does not change the BLS pay data.
