Housing affordability is the No. 1 problem facing Orange County for 27 percent of residents, according to a Chapman University poll.

The poll found Orange County residents are becoming much more complex politically as well as hyper-focused on local quality of life issues.

The poll raises interesting questions about what residents see as the future of Orange County.
