Figure 1.1 Current villages in Irvine

While Irvine was unique in terms of its origin and early history as described above, it has further distinguished itself from other cities in subsequent decades. The city has experienced sustained population growth since its incorporation, increasing its residential population from 10,081 in 1971 to approximately 110,000 in 1990 and over 270,000 in 2020 with 24 villages with an average population a little over 10,000. Furthermore, unlike many other planned suburbs, Irvine serves as an important job center for the Southern California region. Its business parks now form one of the largest business districts in California, hosting an array of industries that, in combination with UC Irvine, make the city’s economy robust and diverse. We will describe this job growth as part of this Report.
