Why Texarkana prices look the way they do
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 6 trades: carpenters at 45%, electricians at 15%, plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters at 15%, tile and stone setters at 10%, drywall and ceiling tile installers at 10%, painters, construction and maintenance at 5%. Weighted together, Texarkana wages are 0.78 times the national level. Labor makes up about 17% of the midpoint estimate (20% at national prices).
On the materials line, the BEA goods price index for the Texarkana metro is 93.7 (US = 100). The midpoint materials bill for 120 sq ft comes to $17,800, compared with $19,000 at national prices. Permit and inspection fees are scaled by the broader index (84.0) and land at $420 to $1,250.
Data note: 20% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Texarkana. The wage table below marks each row.
Local wages behind the labor line
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 6 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Texarkana is 0.78 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 45%) the local median is $20.51 an hour, which is 30% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $17.41 and $23.92 an hour. BLS counts 90 of them working in the area, 15.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Electricians (47-2111), 15% of the weighting: a median of $27.95 an hour, 8% below the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $21.08 and $35.09 an hour. About 390 work in the metro. That is 67.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 15%) the local median is $23.31 an hour, which is 24% below the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $18.75 and $28.45 an hour. BLS counts 150 of them working in the area, 26.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is about average.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 10% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Texarkana metro, so we used the Texas statewide median: $22.61 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $19.28 and $26.45 an hour.
Drywall and ceiling tile installers (47-2081) carry 10% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Texarkana metro, so we used the Texas statewide median: $22.88 an hour against $28.33 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $19.28 and $28.09 an hour.
For painters, construction and maintenance (47-2141, weighted 5%) the local median is $22.74 an hour, which is 4% below the national $23.75. The middle half of them earn between $19.10 and $27.77 an hour. BLS counts 130 of them working in the area, 22.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 14.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($23.92 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $260. At the 25th percentile ($17.41) it shrinks by about $240. The total moves by 1.2% or 1.1%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 57,580 jobs in the Texarkana area. That makes it the 296th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.
