  • Rows are ordered by sample size, so the first row is the deepest sample rather than the highest pay.
  • A city is published only when it clears the 25-record gate. Below that we withhold rather than estimate.
  • Every figure is a percentile of verified compensation records. We never publish averages or self-reported ranges.
