What our data shows for Architects, Except Landscape and Naval
RoleHue publishes 117 salary records for Architects, Except Landscape and Naval, across 4 cities. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $79,247 at the 25th percentile to $105,657 at the 75th, a spread of $26,410 around $88,409. 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 $88,409 figure rather than in dollars (30% of it), that spread is mid-pack among the roles we cover.
New York, NY carries the highest median we hold for the role at $90,000; Chicago, IL the lowest at $82,496, a gap of $7,504. The middle half of those city medians, weighted by how many records each city contributes, spans $2,860, narrower than the $26,410 band within cities: for Architects, Except Landscape and Naval, where a record sits within its own metro separates our numbers more than which metro it came from.
Most of the evidence on this page sits in New York, NY, with 71 of the 117 records we publish for this role (61%), so the weighted figures above lean on a single metro more than on the country. Evidence clears 25 records in 1 of the 4 cities; for the rest, the city median we show rests on fewer records than that.
