BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Bismarck, ND was 91, or 9% below the national price level. Its housing index was 84.
National-price-dollar proxy
$87,471
WageScope divides the published Surveyors 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 17-1022 and BLS area 13900.

Surveyors pay in Bismarck, ND: common questions
What is the median wage for Surveyors in Bismarck, ND?

Bismarck, ND was 5.5% above the U.S. median for Surveyors. It ranked 54 of 213 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 Surveyors median in Bismarck, ND at $79,620 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 17-1022 and BLS area 13900.
BLS lists 60 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 $87,120 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Bismarck, ND's Surveyors median is 5.5% above the U.S. Surveyors median of $75,440 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 17-1022 and area 13900. SOC 17-1022 names Surveyors. Area 13900 names Bismarck, ND. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 17-1022/13900 row reports 60 wage and salary jobs, 0.86 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 2.62 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 17-1022/13900, the annual median is $79,620 per year, while the matching mean is $87,120 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 13900 reports 71,270 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $64,630. Its annual median is $52,560. The employment RSE is 0.1%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.4%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 17-1022 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Bismarck, ND runs from $31,210 at the 10th percentile to $103,990 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $38,310. The median is $52,560. The 75th percentile is $76,140. This is a place check, not a pay range for Surveyors.
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 13900. They do not show related skills or a path into Surveyors.
1. Area 13900, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 2,400 jobs, $81,120 annual median, 33.74 jobs per 1,000, and 1.55 location quotient.
2. Area 13900, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 2,280 jobs, $36,730 annual median, 31.97 jobs per 1,000, and 1.28 location quotient.
3. Area 13900, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 2,180 jobs, $29,940 annual median, 30.61 jobs per 1,000, and 1.23 location quotient.
4. Area 13900, SOC 11-1021, General and Operations Managers: 1,740 jobs, $93,540 annual median, 24.42 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Bismarck, ND wage ladder for Surveyors
The 10th percentile is $60,130 per year. The 25th percentile is $74,700 per year. The median is $79,620 per year. The 75th percentile is $104,230 per year. The 90th percentile is $111,810 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 $74,700 per year to $104,230 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $51,680. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Bismarck, ND has a annual median of $79,620 per year. North Dakota has $79,360 per year. The U.S. row has $75,440 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Bismarck, ND is 0.3% above North Dakota on the same published median. Bismarck, ND is 5.5% above 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.
Bismarck, ND ranks 54 of 213 among metro areas with a published annual median for Surveyors. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 54 of 213 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.
51. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN has a Surveyors median of $80,060 per year, 1,140 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.77.
52. Albuquerque, NM has a Surveyors median of $79,920 per year, 120 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.91.
53. Topeka, KS has a Surveyors median of $79,630 per year, 40 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.94.
55. Colorado Springs, CO has a Surveyors median of $79,530 per year, 180 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.78.
Pay leaders
Where Surveyors medians lead among metro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 17-1022, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. Yuba City, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $133,270 per year. Bismarck, ND sits at $79,620 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Surveyors 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. Yuba City, CA has a Surveyors median of $133,270 per year, or $53,650 above Bismarck, ND. BLS lists 50 jobs there, compared with 60 in Bismarck, ND. The location quotient is 2.99.
2. Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, CA has a Surveyors median of $128,600 per year, or $48,980 above Bismarck, ND. BLS lists 370 jobs there, compared with 60 in Bismarck, ND. The location quotient is 1.06.
3. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has a Surveyors median of $125,060 per year, or $45,440 above Bismarck, ND. BLS lists 630 jobs there, compared with 60 in Bismarck, ND. The location quotient is 0.81.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Surveyors jobs
Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX has the largest published metro job estimate for Surveyors in this same-source set, at 1,960 jobs. Bismarck, ND has 60. 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. Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX has 1,960 estimated Surveyors jobs, a gap of 1,900 jobs from Bismarck, ND. Its median is $62,960 per year, or $16,660 below Bismarck, ND. Its location quotient is 1.82.
2. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX has 1,400 estimated Surveyors jobs, a gap of 1,340 jobs from Bismarck, ND. Its median is $66,030 per year, or $13,590 below Bismarck, ND. Its location quotient is 1.06.
Local-share leaders
Where Surveyors takes the largest share of local jobs
Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, LA has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 3.96. Bismarck, ND has 2.62. 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 Surveyors 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. Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, LA has a location quotient of 3.96, a gap of 1.34 from Bismarck, ND. BLS lists 110 Surveyors jobs and a median of $63,800 per year, or $15,820 below Bismarck, ND.
2. Lafayette, LA has a location quotient of 3.76, a gap of 1.14 from Bismarck, ND. BLS lists 220 Surveyors jobs and a median of $49,820 per year, or $29,800 below Bismarck, ND.
3. Beaumont-Port Arthur, TX has a location quotient of 3.45, a gap of 0.83 from Bismarck, ND. BLS lists 180 Surveyors jobs and a median of $66,340 per year, or $13,280 below Bismarck, ND.
Job scale and share
How common Surveyors is in Bismarck, ND
BLS lists 60 Surveyors jobs in Bismarck, ND. It also lists 0.86 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 2.62. A value of 1 means Surveyors 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.
The all-occupations median in Bismarck, ND is $52,560 per year. The Surveyors median is $79,620 per year. Surveyors is 51.5% 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 Bismarck, ND. 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 Surveyors. 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. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Bismarck, ND median of $81,120 per year. BLS lists 2,400 jobs and a location quotient of 1.55.
2. Accountants and Auditors, SOC 13-2011, has a Bismarck, ND median of $76,910 per year. BLS lists 780 jobs and a location quotient of 1.17.
3. Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products, SOC 41-4012, has a Bismarck, ND median of $69,760 per year. BLS lists 580 jobs and a location quotient of 1.02.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Bismarck, ND
Registered Nurses is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Bismarck, ND table, at 2,400 jobs. Surveyors has 60 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 71,270. 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 Surveyors's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Registered Nurses has 2,400 jobs in Bismarck, ND, a gap of 2,340 from Surveyors. Its median is $81,120 per year, or $1,500 above Surveyors. Its location quotient is 1.55.
2. Retail Salespersons has 2,280 jobs in Bismarck, ND, a gap of 2,220 from Surveyors. Its median is $36,730 per year, or $42,890 below Surveyors. Its location quotient is 1.28.
3. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 2,180 jobs in Bismarck, ND, a gap of 2,120 from Surveyors. Its median is $29,940 per year, or $49,680 below Surveyors. Its location quotient is 1.23.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Bismarck, ND
Managers, All Other has the highest published median in the bounded Bismarck, ND role table, at $119,390 per year. Surveyors has $79,620 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $52,560 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. Managers, All Other has a median of $119,390 per year in Bismarck, ND, or $39,770 above Surveyors. BLS lists 490 jobs, compared with 60 for Surveyors. Its location quotient is 1.71.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $93,540 per year in Bismarck, ND, or $13,920 above Surveyors. BLS lists 1,740 jobs, compared with 60 for Surveyors. Its location quotient is 1.08.
3. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,120 per year in Bismarck, ND, or $1,500 above Surveyors. BLS lists 2,400 jobs, compared with 60 for Surveyors. Its location quotient is 1.55.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Bismarck, ND
Childcare Workers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Bismarck, ND role table, at 3.24. Surveyors has 2.62. 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 Surveyors with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Childcare Workers has a location quotient of 3.24 in Bismarck, ND, a gap of 0.62 from Surveyors. BLS lists 770 jobs and a median of $30,650 per year, or $48,970 below Surveyors.
2. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has a location quotient of 2.64 in Bismarck, ND, a gap of 0.02 from Surveyors. BLS lists 580 jobs and a median of $62,150 per year, or $17,470 below Surveyors.
3. Nursing Assistants has a location quotient of 2.15 in Bismarck, ND, a gap of 0.47 from Surveyors. BLS lists 1,430 jobs and a median of $46,720 per year, or $32,900 below Surveyors.
Price-level view
What $79,620 may mean after the Bismarck, ND price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Bismarck, ND is 91.0. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 9.0% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $79,620 Surveyors median by 91.0 divided by 100. The result is $87,471 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 84.0. Goods are 95.7. Utilities are 75.0. Other services are 91.2. 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 Surveyors row is 21.9%. The mean-wage RSE is 4.4%. 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 60 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $87,120 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 Surveyors. It uses a Bismarck, ND 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 $79,620 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 Surveyors row for Bismarck, ND 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 60 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 2.62 is not a growth score. Rank 54 of 213 is not a place score. The 91.0 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 17-1022 in BLS area 13900. 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.
