Where the Yuma price comes from
Labor is 26% of the midpoint bill here, against 27% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is glaziers (50%), carpenters (40%), general maintenance and repair workers (10%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Yuma the blended ratio comes out at 0.90. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Arizona statewide median.
On the materials line, the BEA goods price index for the Yuma metro is 96.2 (US = 100). The midpoint materials bill for 10 windows comes to $6,800, compared with $7,100 at national prices. Permit and inspection fees are scaled by the broader index (92.7) and land at $0 to $0.
Data note: 50% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Yuma. 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. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Yuma is 0.90 times the national level.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Yuma metro, so we used the Arizona statewide median: $27.19 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $23.41 and $28.92 an hour.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $23.04 an hour, which is 21% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $18.42 and $27.42 an hour. BLS counts 260 of them working in the area, 37.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $20.73 an hour, 13% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $17.24 and $25.11 an hour. About 1,000 work in the metro. That is 145.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the glaziers on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($28.92 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $85. At the 25th percentile ($23.41) it shrinks by about $180. The total moves by 0.9% or 2.0%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 68,880 jobs in the Yuma area. That makes it the 262nd largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.

Specs and site conditions that change a Yuma bid
Window type
Single-hung and picture windows are cheapest; bay and bow windows can reach $3,000-$8,000+.
Count
Replacing 10 to 15 windows runs $4,500-$22,500; at 25 windows it is $11,250-$37,500.
Permit
Window permits are $50-$200 each, or $400-$600 total for a multi-window job, and are often only needed when you change the opening (HomeGuide). No permit fee is included here because many cities do not ask for one on same-size replacements.
Yuma against nearby metros and the rest of Arizona
Contractors rarely work more than an hour or two from home, so the neighboring metros set a rough ceiling and floor for your quotes. Midpoints for 10 windows range from $9,050 to $10,800 across Yuma and its five closest metros.

When to schedule windows in Yuma
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Yuma Mcas (10 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
November through April is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Yuma (6 of 12 months). May, June, July, August, September and October have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Yuma gets about 3 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, September and December (0.7 inches in September). Inside the workable window, April and November are the driest, at 0.1 and 0.2 inches. The station averages about 181 days a year at 90°F or above.
Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.
