Health Information Technologists and Medical Registrars (SOC 29-9021) has a national median of $68,020 per year in the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics May 2025 release. The published 10th-to-90th-percentile boundaries run from $39,830 to $117,420, and the published mean is $74,970. Those summary statistics describe the estimated distribution; their difference alone does not identify its cause. OEWS estimates 38,100 jobs in covered establishments nationally. WageDex has published rows for 51 state or territory areas and 173 metropolitan or nonmetropolitan wage areas. The published national median moved from $67,310 in the May 2024 OEWS release to $68,020 in May 2025, a rise of $710 (+1.1%). This is a change between two BLS survey estimates, not an inflation-adjusted same-worker pay raise.
BLS Employment Projections forecast a +14.7% change in employment from 2024 to 2034, which we classify as much faster than average relative to the all-occupations baseline of 3.1%. About 3,200 openings are projected per year from growth, occupational transfers, and labor-force exits. BLS assigns Associate's degree as typical education needed for entry. BLS does not publish a separate occupation-specific fatality and injury rate for this role in the current release. The safety panel below shows its broad Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations SOC-group context and is not an occupation-level measurement or ranking.
Geographic variation matters as much as the headline median. Arkansas pays the highest state median at $93,300, which is +37% above the national figure. The highest published metropolitan-area median in this ranking is San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA at $126,670. The observed difference does not identify its cause. Pair the national median with the state and metropolitan-area rows below while keeping the geography and statistic consistent. OEWS includes tips, commissions, incentive pay, and production bonuses, but not employer benefits, overtime premiums, stock compensation, or nonproduction bonuses.
