Irvine at 50: The changing landscape of housing, commuting, and amenities June, 2022

Sociodemographic change in the city Given the presence of so many high tech jobs in the city of Irvine, it comes as no surprise that there are a high percentage of residents who have at least a Bachelor’s Degree. So where do they live in the city? Figure 6.5 shows the pattern over time, and we see, unsurprisingly, that already by 1990 a very high concentration of residents near UC Irvine had at least a Bachelor’s Degree. By 2000 the area near the Irvine Spectrum also was a hub of highly educated residents, and since 2010 this has expanded to the entire southern portion of the city. This has now expanded further to parts of Woodbridge and up into the northern portion of the city.
