Compared to the national median of $99,130, Grants Pass pays 5% below, which typically tracks with a lower local cost of living or smaller specialized-employer cluster.

The Grants Pass pay distribution spans from $66,490 at the 10th percentile to $129,090 at the 90th, a 1.9× spread that reflects experience tenure, specialization, employer size, and the difference between public-sector, nonprofit, and private-sector compensation inside the metro.

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 Grants Pass, OR 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 OR data, and peer-metro comparisons, a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
