What our data shows for Architectural and Engineering Managers

RoleHue publishes 209 salary records for Architectural and Engineering Managers, across 13 cities. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $192,945 at the 25th percentile to $237,524 at the 75th, a spread of $44,579 around $212,414. 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 $212,414 figure rather than in dollars (21% of it), that spread is tighter than 75% of the roles we cover.

Menlo Park, CA carries the highest median we hold for the role at $261,902; Troy, MI the lowest at $133,700, a gap of $128,202. The middle half of those city medians, weighted by how many records each city contributes, spans $18,864, narrower than the $44,579 band within cities: for Architectural and Engineering Managers, where a record sits within its own metro separates our numbers more than which metro it came from.

No single metro carries most of this: the largest share is Santa Clara, CA, with 37 of the 209 records we publish for this role (18%). Evidence clears 25 records in 1 of the 13 cities; for the rest, the city median we show rests on fewer records than that.
