Port of Long Beach sits at the safer end of Long Beach by reported crime. Its SafeRoute safety index is 98 out of 100 — 41 points above the citywide median of 57, ranking 1st of 96 Long Beach neighborhoods — based on 2 incidents reported to the Long Beach Police within 1 km of the neighborhood center over the 6 months to September 2026. Almost all of this area is working port, airport and terminal land rather than homes, so a low count reflects how few people are here rather than how safe the streets are.
