BLS metro-level wage data places Bailiffs pay in Utica-Rome, NY at a median of $59,450 per year ($28.58/hr/hour), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $56,600, Utica-Rome pays +5% above, signaling either concentrated employer demand, a cost-of-living premium, or both. Approximately 70 bailiffss are employed across the Utica-Rome MSA in SOC 33-3011.

The Utica-Rome pay distribution spans from $35,100 at the 10th percentile to $94,520 at the 90th — a 2.7× spread that reflects experience tenure, specialization, employer size, and the difference between public-sector, nonprofit, and private-sector compensation inside the metro. The 25th percentile sits at $35,100 and the 75th at $76,620, so half of Utica-Rome-based bailiffss earn within that middle band.

Metro figures capture where you actually work, not just where you live — which matters for commuters. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Utica-Rome, NY covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. Remember that OEWS wages reflect base pay only: employer-provided health insurance, retirement matches, stock options, signing bonuses, overtime, and tips are excluded and can add 20-40% to real total compensation. Before using this metro median as a negotiation anchor, triangulate against the same occupation's national profile (linked below), its state-wide NY data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
