Long Beach is a very small coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Washington. With a population of 1,761 people and three associated neighborhoods, Long Beach is the 235th largest community in Washington.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.31% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Another notable thing is that Long Beach is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the city experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller city.

Long Beach is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.

One of the benefits of Long Beach is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 18.42 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.

The population of Long Beach overall has a level of education that is slightly above the US average for all US cities and towns of 21.84%. Of adults 25 and older in Long Beach, 22.95% have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Long Beach in 2022 was $34,182, which is lower middle income relative to Washington, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $136,728 for a family of four. However, Long Beach contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

Long Beach is a somewhat ethnically-diverse city. The people who call Long Beach home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Long Beach residents report their race to be White, followed by Asian. Long Beach also has a sizeable Hispanic population (people of Hispanic origin can be of any race). People of Hispanic or Latino origin account for 11.89% of the city’s residents. Important ancestries of people in Long Beach include English, German, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh.
