1990 median home price - $245,000
2000 median home price - $301,400
Home prices in Irvine rose only 23% in ten years (1990 - 2000), Averaging 2.3% a year.
Home price / median income = 3.92
Today this ratio is around 7
1990 Irvine population is about 1/2 what it is today.
Ethnic demographics
1990 White 68.8% / Asian 22.1%
2000 White 61.1% / Asian 29.8%
2008 White 59.1% / Asian 36.5%
In 1990 77.4% of the companies based in Irvine had less than 10 employees. 86.4% had less than 20 employees. I would guess today (2010) that less than 15% of the companies have less than 20 employees. 1990 was a great time for small entrepeneurs with big dreams to base their business in Irvine.
