BLS metro-level wage data places Coaches and Scouts pay in Utica-Rome, NY at a median of $53,810 per year, drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $47,320, Utica-Rome pays +14% above, signaling either concentrated employer demand, a cost-of-living premium, or both. Approximately 210 coaches and scoutss are employed across the Utica-Rome MSA in SOC 27-2022.

The Utica-Rome pay distribution spans from $36,360 at the 10th percentile to $80,000 at the 90th — a 2.2× 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 $44,080 and the 75th at $61,760, so half of Utica-Rome-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 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.
