What our data shows for Business Intelligence Analysts

RoleHue publishes 1,224 salary records for Business Intelligence Analysts, across 39 cities. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $115,894 at the 25th percentile to $157,763 at the 75th, a spread of $41,869 around $134,727. 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 $134,727 figure rather than in dollars (31% of it), that spread is mid-pack among the roles we cover.

Menlo Park, CA carries the highest median we hold for the role at $217,253; Pittsburgh, PA the lowest at $93,965, a gap of $123,288. The middle half of those city medians, weighted by how many records each city contributes, spans $23,574, narrower than the $41,869 band within cities: for Business Intelligence Analysts, 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 New York, NY, with 155 of the 1,224 records we publish for this role (13%). Evidence clears 25 records in 18 of the 39 cities; for the rest, the city median we show rests on fewer records than that.
