Statisticians Salary

Yes — at the median salary of $108K, rent takes 23.6% of take-home pay. A 2-bedroom at the HUD Fair Market Rent runs $1,658/month. That stays under the 30% guideline most financial planners use.

The 10th-percentile wage — what new statisticians typically earn — is $55K/year. Take-home on that works out to about $3,276/month. At HUD’s $1,658/month FMR, rent would take 51% of that take-home — above the 30% guideline, so a 1-bedroom or shared housing is likely necessary starting out.

Pay here is roughly in line with the national average — $108K locally vs. $106K nationally, a 2% difference.

Florida pays $108K median vs. the U.S. average of $106K — that’s +2%. After adjusting for local cost of living (RPP 98.58), the purchasing-power equivalent is $110K — still ahead of the national median.

The median is $108,040 a year, that works out to about $52 an hour. But the range is wide: entry-level workers start around $54,600, and experienced statisticians can clear $189,530. These are BLS numbers, based on employer-reported data, not self-reported surveys.

On that salary, you'd take home roughly $7,033/month after taxes. A 2-bedroom here rents for about $1,658/month, which eats 23.6% of your paycheck. That's under the 30% guideline most financial planners use, so the numbers work.

Florida has a Regional Price Parity of 98.58 (100 is the national average). That's below average, your money stretches further here than the raw salary number suggests. After cost-of-living adjustment, the median statisticians salary is worth about $109,596 in national-average purchasing power.

The table above ranks every state by median pay for this role. Keep in mind that the highest-paying states tend to have the highest costs of living, so the top salary doesn't always mean the most money in your pocket.
