Figure 4.3

Figure 4.3 demonstrates the change in internal trips in Irvine from 1980 to 2016. This is slightly different from Figure 4.1, which showed the percentage of Irvine residents that work in the city. This asks what percentage of Irvine workers live in the city. The percentage of internal trips in Irvine has shown a steady increase over this time period, increasing from 13% in 1980 to 21% in 2016. The biggest jump occurred between 2000 and 2010 when the percentage of internal trips increased from 16% to 20%. Although there are numerous possible explanations for this jump, it is interesting to note that this occurred during a time when large annexations took place. The increasing pattern of internal trips indicates that Irvine residents are proportionally filling more of the jobs within the city and thereby enable the city to become more self-sufficient despite its rapid job growth rates.
