What is behind the Vallejo number
Labor is 41% of the midpoint bill here, against 40% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is tile and stone setters (85%), construction laborers (15%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Vallejo the blended ratio comes out at 1.10. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the California statewide median.
On the materials line, the BEA goods price index for the Vallejo metro is 105.2 (US = 100). The midpoint materials bill for 200 sq ft comes to $3,900, compared with $3,700 at national prices. Permit and inspection fees are scaled by the broader index (108.5) and land at $0 to $0.
Data note: 85% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Vallejo. The wage table below marks each row.

Construction laborers (47-2061), 15% of the weighting: a median of $30.05 an hour, 33% above the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $24.06 and $37.35 an hour.
