What makes this market different

Compare coastal and inland store clusters rather than treating Orange County as an extension of central Los Angeles.

Planning area: Irvine, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, Fullerton. Store inclusion follows the rectangular map bounds, which may cross municipal or state lines; these are planning areas rather than official metro boundaries.
