BLS metro-level wage data places Coaches and Scouts pay in Duluth, MN-WI at a median of $51,230 per year, drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $47,320, Duluth pays +8% above, signaling either concentrated employer demand, a cost-of-living premium, or both. Approximately 200 coaches and scoutss are employed across the Duluth MSA in SOC 27-2022.

The Duluth pay distribution spans from $29,480 at the 10th percentile to $88,000 at the 90th — a 3.0× 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 $35,960 and the 75th at $73,380, so half of Duluth-based coaches and scoutss 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 Duluth, MN-WI 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 MN data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
