One of the safest counties in the country with atleast three cities that consistently make the yearly top ten of safest cities in America (usually Irvine, Mission Viejo, and Lake Forest).
Also, the best Mexican food in California can be found in Santa Ana. And the best Vietnamese food outside of Vietnam can be found in Little Saigon of Westminster.

"Why can't I get a decent slice of pizza in Orange County," says provincial New Yorker.

To the previous entry, actually, south county is one of the most conservative parts of the country. California may be liberal, but Orange County, especially South Orange County, is mainly conservative. Especially the soccer moms in their SUVS.

A county in southern California that no one even knew existed until the atrociously bad written and unrealistic show, The OC, came out in 2002. Usually divided into two parts by residents: North and South. The North is not 'ghetto', and the South is not the 'extremely rich, plush side.' I live in Aliso Viejo (South county), where the average income is somewhere around 80,000.
There are places like Coto de Caza where the annoying CEOs live, but a majority of people living in Orange County don't have that much money..it all goes to their rent or mortgage, so even if they have a higher level job, once they pay the bills there isn't much left (an example of which I can attest wholeheartedly to).
Orange County is a bubble, once you look past the gangs in both counties, as a great deal of it is master-planned and gives you the feeling of never stepping into reality.

Annoying idiot: Omg, in Orange County, North is so ghetto and South is so full of richies!
North person: ..No. How can it be ghetto when it still costs so much to live here? What, is it 'the ghetto life of a car designer'?
South person: I don't think so. South county isn't just comrpised of the used-to-be-artsy, now-super-expensive Laguna Beach or Coto de Caza. There are other communities with people who go paycheck to paycheck because of the cost of rent.
Annoying idiot: OH WHATEVER. You're just bitter because you don't live in Newport with Ryan and Marissa!

Not like it seems. A growing county with a great past. It's not full of white rich people.very diverse with a wide range of financial status. South county is home to many military families. Home of oranges, avacados, strawberries, and lemon farms. Farms are there you just have to know where to look. It's a beautiful area with perfect weather. It's way better then some house in chicago hights with no neighbors for miles. It's orange county not the OC.
dude from Idaho: Where do your live?
me: Orange county?
Idaho: California?
Me: Yeah
Idaho: I went there a few years ago. It's beautiful.
Me:Yeah, you'll have to come down again so you can join our beach bon fire. It's great.

The second wealthiest county in the U.S. only surpassed by the county that Jupiter Bay, Florida is in. However if the cities Garden Grove and Santa Ana were eliminated from the OC, we would be the wealthiest county. By the way that crap about north oc being ghetto is preposterous. North O.C. is more refined like East Coast Prep, fresh from the Hamptons. We are more restrained and understated, the true elegance in massive wealth. Look up Villa Park, Cowan Heights, Orange Park Acres, Copa de Oro, North Tustin, and Anaheim Hills, all in North County where the average family income is $284,843, surpassing Newport's meager $185,335 (with all the old retirees)
I lived in South County, in Coto de Caza when people were nicer; now the tacky drunk rich kids are there, so we've moved north to Copa de Oro.
