What our data shows for Statisticians

RoleHue publishes 165 salary records for Statisticians, across 8 cities. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $126,611 at the 25th percentile to $182,261 at the 75th, a spread of $55,650 around $155,518. Each of those three figures averages the city-level percentiles rather than ranking the pooled records, and weights each city by how many records it holds, so the cities we hold most data for pull them hardest. Measured against that $155,518 figure rather than in dollars (36% of it), that spread is wider than 64% of the roles we cover.

Seattle, WA carries the highest median we hold for the role at $185,050; Chicago, IL the lowest at $106,090, a gap of $78,960. The middle half of those city medians, weighted by how many records each city contributes, spans $11,560, narrower than the $55,650 band within cities: for Statisticians, where a record sits within its own metro separates our numbers more than which metro it came from.

No single metro carries most of this: the largest share is New York, NY, with 67 of the 165 records we publish for this role (41%). Evidence clears 25 records in 1 of the 8 cities; for the rest, the city median we show rests on fewer records than that.
