Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in McLean, VA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How McLean compares. Among the 100 largest places in Virginia, McLean is #17 by population, #1 for household income (#1 = highest), #3 for college degrees (#1 = most), #97 for rent (#1 = cheapest). Its county, Fairfax County, is #3 of 133 counties for average pay ($114,100).
McLean has 49,627 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.6% of the population of Virginia. It covers 25 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 2,001 people per square mile. The median age is 46.6, 19% older than the state median (46.6 against 39.0). It is a census-designated place: a community the Census Bureau counts as a unit, without a city government of its own, so services such as police, roads and zoning usually come from the county.
The median gross rent is $3,422 a month (rent plus utilities), 117% above the state median ($3,422 against $1,579). Over a year that is 16.4% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $1,412,700, which is 5.7 times the median household income ($250,001); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 86.1% of households own their home, 28% above the state average (86.1% against 67.3%).
The Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metropolitan area has 3,136,190 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $71,060 a year, 39% above the national median ($71,060 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are business and financial operations (369,190 jobs, median $105,260); management (319,760 jobs, median $165,010); office and administrative support (290,050 jobs, median $53,250). The area is most specialised in legal (2.6 times) and computer and mathematical (2.2 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are legal ($175,070) and management ($165,010). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Fairfax County was 3.4%. 61.4% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Fairfax County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 51.3% drive alone, 3.4% use public transit, 1.0% walk, 38.3% work from home. 15.9% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 9% below the state average (15.9% against 17.6%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
84.3% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 100% above the state share (84.3% against 42.2%). 25.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 91% above the state share (25.0% against 13.1%). The poverty rate is 2.9%, 71% below the state rate (2.9% against 9.9%).
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 78°F (25.6°C), and the coolest is Jan at 31°F (-0.4°C). About 1,117 mm (44 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (120 mm) and Jan the driest (65 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Tysons (2 miles, rent 27% lower); Idylwood (4 miles, rent 40% lower); Falls Church (4 miles, rent 36% lower); Vienna (5 miles, rent 30% lower). Rent differences are against McLean; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
