Pediatrics Career Context
The cost-of-living index for Texas is 97.1 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$475k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $489k in an average-cost state. 57.7% of Texas clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).

Texas has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$475k midpoint, that is roughly $19k–$33k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
