Ratios use the advertised annual pay range’s lower bound, before taxes. Regional prices are not a personal budget.
Peer group: physical therapist · physical therapy · Full-time · hours not stated · Pay composition not stated. National listings with usable annual USD pay and local data, posted within 180 days of the 2026-09-22 snapshot. Rankings use lower pay bounds; higher percentiles mean more favorable comparisons. Only the same rent observation month is compared.
