Where Orange County Sits in California

Orange County occupies the coastal stretch of Southern California between Los Angeles County to the north and San Diego County to the south. Inland to the east are Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, separated from the coastal plain by the Santa Ana Mountains and the Chino Hills.

The county covers 948 square miles in total, 791 of it land, and holds a population of 3,186,989 as of the 2020 Census. That makes it the third most populous county in California and the sixth most populous in the United States, on a footprint smaller than Rhode Island.

Santa Ana is the county seat. Anaheim is the largest city by population. More than 40 miles of Pacific coastline run from Seal Beach in the north to San Clemente in the south, and that coastline is the single biggest driver of the rent gradient across the county.

For a rental property owner, the practical division is not north and south but coastal and inland. A three-bedroom home in Newport Beach and the same home in Buena Park sit at opposite ends of the county rent range, and they attract different residents, different lease lengths and different maintenance profiles.
