What the numbers mean in Long Beach city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Long Beach city median would spend about 20.4% of gross income on the median rent. The 30% mark is the federal threshold for cost burden, so anything above it signals a stretched rental market. The median home costs 2.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7.7% of residents and 66.9% of households own their home.
