Is Orange getting better or worse?
So, Military spouse here. Median household income is $68,833, which feels about average for the area. Poverty rate is 12.8%, which is around average. You can expect to pay around $1,070 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 3.6%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Low crime in most areas
- Close to nature
Cons:
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Limited cultural events
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Not enough green space
Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up.

People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
