Neighborhood safety · Long Beach · data through August 2026

How safe is your Long Beach neighborhood?

SafeRoute scores every Long Beach neighborhood 0–100 from incidents reported to the Long Beach Police Department — severity-weighted, within 1 km of each area's center, normalized citywide. Higher is safer. The same data powers the SafeRoute app's crime-aware walking routes.

These figures describe reported crime around each neighborhood's center — they are informational, not a judgment of any community. Citywide median index: 57/100.

Methodology

Each incident reported to the Long Beach Police Department (via City of Long Beach Open Data) is weighted by severity — violence counts for more than shoplifting. For every neighborhood we sum weighted incidents within 1 km of its center, and normalize against citywide crime rates onto a 0–100 index, higher = safer. Boundaries are the City of Long Beach's official neighborhoods; 25 unnamed fragments in the city's boundary file — marinas, the entrance channel, regional parks and two power stations — are excluded, because they are not places anyone lives or walks. Long Beach neighborhoods are compact, so 1 km circles around adjacent centers overlap more than in a sprawling city; read neighbouring pages together rather than as sharp borders. The dataset records the date an incident was reported rather than when it occurred, so time-of-day patterns are not shown. Pages regenerate as new data is published.

The index compares areas within Long Beach. It is not comparable between cities: each police force publishes a different set of offences over a different period — Long Beach's figures cannot be read against another city's on the same 0–100 scale.
