CLIPBOARD : Home Value Estimates

Among Orange County owners living in their homes, about one in 12 estimates the value of that home at more than a half-million dollars. This 8% figure is dwarfed in some of the county’s more affluent areas, though. In Newport Beach and Villa Park, for example, the comparable figure is closer to 60%.

Here, ranked from highest to lowest, is the percentage of homeowners in each city (and some unincorporated areas) who reported in the census that the value of their homes exceeds $500,000:
