West McLean maps to a single census tract in McLean, VA and houses 2,817 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 50%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the McLean rate of 29.6%. Average gross rent is $584, 83% below the McLean average of $3,422. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.1/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 13 evictions logged in this tract. Food insecurity affects 6.8% of adults, 11.0 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 2.1% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #2 of 12 neighborhoods in McLean.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $233,438, annual rent is only 3%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
