The second I read the hnaelide of this entry I knew I knew exactly the explanation and I see Chuck posted above more from the article that supports exactly what I was thinking. But below is the response anyway since I already typed it out. Young families are moving east in order to take advantage of cheaper bigger houses. Because real estate prices in Orange County are SO high, it's very difficult to raise a family there, and why would you if you can purchase a cheaper, larger home in nearby counties to the east. Many people from Orange County move to Temecula, Riverside, Corona, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, and of course some move out of state. The Inland Empire has had such a growth in population not because of beautiful ocean views and San Diego like weather (note thet sarcasm) but because it's cheaper alternative to living in high priced areas in California. The people purchasing in Orange County are probably older nowadays due to high prices and potentially don't have kids living with them anymore. Additionaly, there's a possibility that young couples in Orange County are waiting longer to have children.
