What our data shows for Anesthesiologists

RoleHue publishes 26 salary records for Anesthesiologists, across 2 cities. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $325,903 at the 25th percentile to $361,824 at the 75th, a spread of $35,921 around $343,678. Each of those three figures averages the city-level percentiles rather than ranking the pooled records, and weights each city by how many records it holds, so the cities we hold most data for pull them hardest. Measured against that $343,678 figure rather than in dollars (10% of it), that spread is tighter than 90% of the roles we cover, so a single record tells you more here than it would for most titles.

Iowa City, IA carries the highest median we hold for the role at $370,042; Boston, MA the lowest at $327,200, a gap of $42,842.

Most of the evidence on this page sits in Boston, MA, with 16 of the 26 records we publish for this role (62%), so the weighted figures above lean on a single metro more than on the country. No city here reaches 25 records, the depth we treat as our threshold for calling a city median well evidenced, so every city median on this page rests on fewer records than that.
