Filings from Iowa City, IA fall inside the federal statistical area IOWA CITY, IA. That area is larger than this city — it spans several cities and, where the name says so, more than one state. Everything on this page is computed from filings whose worksite city is Iowa City itself, so the numbers above are city figures, not area figures.

We build a page for a city once it has at least 50 certified filings — 2,578 cities qualify, and 2,298 of those also clear our content threshold and are listed in the city index. Below the filing threshold we do not publish a median, because a median from a small number of filings reads like a market rate and is not one. Those filings are still counted on their employer's page.
