This is largely due to the effects of the Pacific Ocean, which helps to cool the air in the summer and warm the air in the winter.

With a population of more than 85,000 people, Newport Beach boasts some of the highest median family incomes and property values in the country. According to a report published in 2011, more than a quarter of households within the city have an income that is greater than $200,000. The same report found that the median value for homes in the city was $1 million.
