Estimated employment: 2,770. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $82,190 to $167,990 in 2025, a span of $85,800. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
