The according to the BLS, the median wage nationally is $100,080 and the average is $104,300. I'm not convinced a 4% difference takes away a whole lot of value, especially when salaries are close to a normal distribution.

I'm willing to bet that as you limit you data set to a smaller region, salaries normalize even further.

Salaries are not a normal distributions. They are a multimodal distribution (usually 2 waves).
