$53,570 / year, mean
↓ 40.6% below national average 33th percentile in Florida

Jacksonville pays below most of Florida for this role, though still within a normal range for the state. That's well below the national average for broadcast announcers and radio disc jockeys — one of the largest gaps in this dataset. Cost of living here is close to the national average — not a major factor either way. This estimate comes from a smaller sample than most cities in this dataset — treat the exact figure with a bit more caution.

Methodology

How this page is built

The salary figure is the mean annual wage reported by the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program for this occupation and metro area. Percentile and national-average comparisons are calculated directly from the 188 cities currently in this dataset, not from a fixed external benchmark. Cost of living, crime and housing figures come from BEA, FBI and Zillow respectively — see "Data transparency" above for the exact sources and reference years used on this specific page.

Confidence: the RSE (relative standard error) shown under Overview indicates how reliable the salary estimate is for this metro — a lower RSE means a larger underlying sample.
