MFI Report: Irvine at 50: From a Planned Community to a Growing Job Center December 2021
Figure 3.6 The next figure (Figure 3.6) presents the income level of workers living in Irvine. The most striking observation is that Irvine disproportionately has high income workers, and this has been the case since 1980. From 1980 to 2000, Irvine had about 50% more high income workers compared to the region, and this increased to 90% more and 70% more in 2010 and 2016. Irvine has consistently had fewer low and average income workers compared to the region, and in 2016 Irvine had 60% as many low income workers and 70% as many average income workers.
