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 destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the city’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

One of the nice things about Long Beach is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

Compared to the rest of the country, citizens of Long Beach spend much less time in their cars: on average, their commute to work is only 18.42 minutes. This also means that noise and pollution levels in the city are less than they would otherwise be.

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.
