Orange County is one of the popular places in California. Places like Disneyland and Knottsberry Farm draw much attention to the district, providing the local government with much publicity in the past years. In turn, this publicity gave way to opportunities for tourism. Many people come to Orange County to visit the said theme parks as well as to see other popular sites in Anaheim, which is the county's seat for tourism.
Currently, Orange County is home to one of the largest populations per county in the US with figures reaching to more than three million residents. This population ranks the county at number 6 in the US tally as of July 2009. With its population reaching well into its third million, tourism and real estate considerations both play a big role to balancing demands for work and housing needs as the need to accommodate visitors and a growing population comes to play.
Due to the influx of people, traffic congestion becomes one of the key issues in visiting or living in the said county. The commute could especially be taxing during the summer vacation when children demand time off in Disneyland or Knottsberry Farm. Another problem that the county faces with the gradual ballooning of the population is resolving job opportunities for its residents. Statistics shows the need for the district to prepare for a bigger workforce in the coming years.
Fortune 500 companies like Western Digital and Ingram Micro bring in different opportunities for the technological side of business in industries like software manufacture, hardware production and in some instances, opportunities for web design. Orange County benefits from these companies as they provide the economy a boost in its overall standing.
These technological companies also give the district more promotion in online search engine optimization. Orange County gets the publicity it needs when these companies list their website's contact details online. In essence, the county may gain more attention as it reaps the benefits of a steadier economic rating.
Through opportunities in search engine optimization, Orange County should be able to gain more help in their housing concerns as well because the current trend is driving at higher housing costs. By giving workers the chance to get benefits that come with working, the county gets to hit two birds with one stone because more work may mean better housing plans as well.
