Towns near Anaheim compared
4 of the 6 nearest places get more painting days, the most in Orange (249 a year, 8 miles southwest); 1 gets fewer, down to 76 a year. A gap like that between towns is usually elevation, a coast or a lake, which is why a painter from a few towns over can be on a different schedule. Yorba Linda is read from the same station as Anaheim, so its numbers match; the real difference is the distance from that station.
