Page Authority is Moz's calculated metric for how well a given webpage is likely to rank in Google.com's search results. It is based off of data from the Mozscape web index and includes link counts, MozRank, MozTrust, and dozens of other factors. It uses a machine learning model to predictively find an algorithm that best correlates with rankings across the thousands of search results that they predict against. Whereas Page Authority measures the predictive ranking strength of a single page, Domain Authority measures the strength of entire domains or subdomains. Page Authority is scored on a 100-point, logarithmic scale as well. (Taken from Moz.com) Here we see that the score is right in the middle. I also prefer to be below 50 points for page authority.
