Irvine is an incorporated city in Orange County, California, United
States. It is a planned city, mainly developed by the Irvine Company since
the 1960s. Formally incorporated in 1971, the 46 square mile (120 km˛) city
has a population of 199,755 (as of 2006). It currently has plans to annex an
undeveloped area to the north, and has already annexed the former El Toro
Marine Corps Air Station, most of which is to be made into a park called the
Orange County Great Park.
Irvine is home to the University of California,
Irvine (UCI), the Orange
County Center of University of Southern California, Irvine Campus of Alliant
International University, Concordia University, and Irvine Valley College.
Irvine is also home to a number of corporations, particularly in the
technology sector.
A planned city
The layout of Irvine was designed by Los Angeles architect William Pereira
and Irvine Company employee Raymond Watson, and is nominally divided into
townships called villages. The townships are separated by six-lane streets.
Each township includes a spectrum of similar types of dwellings, along with
shopping, religious institutions and schools. Commercial districts are
checker-boarded in a periphery around the central townships.
Pereira originally envisioned an Atlantis-like circular plan with numerous
man-made lakes and the university in the center. When the Irvine Company
refused to relinquish valuable farmland in the flat central region of the
ranch for this plan, the University site was moved to the base of the
southern coastal hills. The design that ended up being used was based on the
shape of a necklace (with the villages strung along two parallel main
streets, which terminate at UCI, the "pendant")[citation needed]. Traces of
the original circular design are visible in the layout of the UCI campus and
the two man-made lakes at the center of Woodbridge, one of the central
villages.
All streets have landscaping allowances. Rights-of-way for powerlines also
serve as bicycle corridors, parks and greenbelts to tie together ecological
preserves. The greenery is irrigated with reclaimed water.
The homeowners' associations which govern the villages exercise varying
degrees of control on the appearances of homes. In more restrictive areas,
houses' roofing, paint colors, and landscaping are regulated. Some
associations also restrict what types of vehicles people are allowed to park
outside their homes.[citation needed].
The Irvine Ranch played host to the Boy Scouts of America's 1953 National
Scout Jamboree. Jamboree Road, an important street which now stretches from
Newport Beach to Orange, was named in honor of this event.

theme, though many have been clouded by later development. They are listed

Demographics
The censusGR2 of 2000 found there were 143,072 people, 51,199 households,
and 34,354 families in the city. The population density is 1,196.2/km˛
(3,098.0/mi˛), as of the census. There are 53,711 housing units at an

of 18 living with them, 53.8% are married couples living together, 9.8% have
a female householder with no husband present, and 32.9% are non-families.
22.8% of all households are made up of individuals and 5.0% have someone
living alone who is 65 years of age or older. The average household size is
2.66 persons and the average family size is 3.17.
In the city the population is spread out with 23.5% under the age of 18,

In 2006, the median gross rent paid for housing was $1,660 a month. This was
the highest of any place in the United States of more than 100,000
people.[1] The skyrocketing high cost of housing is a major issue in Irvine
and Orange County, while the city council is on a frantic pace to approve
future income-subsizided housing projects to meet the demands of
working-class citizens to live and work in Irvine or elsewhere in Orange
County. Like much of Orange County, most resident voters are registered in
the Republican Party [2].
Emergency services
Fire protection in Irvine is provided by the Orange County Fire Authority
with ambulance service by Doctor's Ambulance. Law enforcement is provided by
the Irvine Police Department serves a suburban city rated sixth safest US
city in the 2006 FBI crime statistic survey [1].
Education
University High School in IrvineMost of Irvine is part of the Irvine Unified
School District. The four high schools in the city are University High
School, Irvine High School, Northwood High School, and Woodbridge High
School. University High School is recognized as one of the nation's best
public high schools. Northwood High was also honored recently for excellent
performance, as it was ranked in the top 21 best public high schools. All
four schools earned a six-year accreditation in 2006, the best possible.
All the high schools in Irvine have consistently made Newsweek's list of Top
High Schools. In 2003, University High School ranked 58th[2]out of the top
804 high schools in the nation while Northwood High School ranked 404th[3],
Irvine High School ranked 505th[4], and Woodbridge High School ranked
803rd[5].
In 2005, University High School ranked 117th[6] out of the top 1000 high
schools with Northwood High School ranking 389th[7], Irvine High School
ranking 816th[8], and Woodbridge High School ranking 1040th[9].
In Newsweek's current 2006 list, University High School ranks at 156th[10]
out of 1,200 top high schools while Northwood High School ranks at
296th[11], Irvine High School ranks at 1044th[12], and Woodbridge High
School rank at 1156th[13]. All of these schools on the Newsweek's list were

Also the elementary and middle schools are some of the best in the nation,
including two alternative, year round, open enrollment K-8 schools (Plaza
Vista and Vista Verde). [14][15] Currently the district is constructing a
new larger high tech campus for Vista Verde in the village of Turtle Ridge.
The district also has a renowned music program starting in the 4th grade.
Parts of the north and west of the city are served by the Tustin Unified
School District.
Sister city controversy
On May 30, 2006, Irvine signed a sister-city memorandum with Xuhui District
of Shanghai, which disavowed the legitimacy of Taiwan's sovereignty. The
contract barred Irvine officials from making official trips to Irvine's
sister city Taoyuan, Taiwan.
The memorandum is automatically unenforceable because Irvine is not allowed
to enter into international treaties which run counter to the official
United States stance on the Taiwan sovereignty issue.
After the memorandum was made public, an uproar arose from the Irvine
Taiwanese American community, numbering approximately 10,000. Around 200
protesters arrived at the Irvine council meeting on June 27, 2006, demanding
that the memorandum be voided.
Irvine has drafted a new agreement which is almost identical to the original
memorandum, with the section renouncing Taiwan's sovereignty removed. Xuhui
District has yet to respond to the amended memorandum. If an agreement is
not found, Irvine will terminate the memorandum entirely. [3]
