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

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
