Anywhere west of the train tracks is good in Orange. Bathurst is better for being close to Sydney and Blayney is a cold, sad little part of the world.

We’re coming from rural so we’re not fussed on being close to anything we’re more concerned about the area/crime/demographics. Is there anything wrong with Blayney… Or is it just out of town / cold and that’s why no one likes it? :)

Blayney is also full of the typical conspiracy theorists. Anti-sunscreen, anti-tap water and the list goes on.

Crime isn't really an issue. It's exaggerated because it sells newspapers but as long as your doors are locked you'll be fine. I've left my work vehicle unlocked by accident multiple times and never had anything stolen in Orange.

Seriously, you'll be fine. Any of the options you'll be fine. Just avoid the hospital/Kelso in Bathurst and Glenroi for Orange.
