The survey acknowledges McLean's strong economy as one of the key factors for its rating.
NerdWallet wrote: "Home values are, on average, $800,000 and income levels are high as well. The average salary is $170,933, more than three times the national average. It follows that, with a booming local economy, the public schools are excellent as well.
