Licensing
Licensing is a state matter, not a city one. Statistics is not licensed. The master’s is the common working credential for jobs carrying the statistician title, and employers typically weight demonstrated software and modeling skill alongside the degree.

What the Numbers Say About This Market
The Dallas median of $104,090 is below the national median of $105,650, and above the Texas statewide median of $102,960 (BLS OEWS, May 2025).
The metro’s location quotient of 0.57 means statisticians are less concentrated here than in the average U.S. labor market (BLS OEWS, May 2025). Higher concentration generally means more employers competing for the same people, and an easier job change later.
Statistician roles concentrate in government, pharmaceutical, insurance and research employment, which favors capital regions and metros with large research institutions.
Wage and employment figures describe the occupation as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, not the graduates of any particular program, and individual outcomes may vary. Licensing rules change; confirm current requirements with the responsible state board before enrolling.
