Fostering a Welcome and Inclusive Community
In 2024, the City of Irvine achieved a perfect score of 100 — and 15 bonus points — on the 2024 Municipal Equality Index (MEI), a testament to Irvine’s commitment to creating a community where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. This is the third consecutive year the City has received a perfect score in the prestigious Human Rights Campaign rating, which serves as a benchmark for assessing how extensively cities have embraced LGBTQ+ inclusivity within their laws, policies, and services. The 2024 MEI examined 506 cities based on non-discrimination laws, the municipality as an employer, municipal services, law enforcement, and the City leadership's public position on LGBTQ+ equality.
