Long Beach in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 13% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 13% now.

Citytistics projections to 2030: each figure's own trend, blended with the typical trend across the places we rate, eased toward long-run US growth and carried forward from the latest release. The range is where 80% of places landed when we tested the same method on past releases.

Measure	Latest	2030 projection	Likely range	Avg. per year
Median rent	$1,384/mo (2024)	$1,740/mo	$1,430 to $2,120/mo	+3.9%
Median household income	$126,683 (2024)	$159,000	$134,000 to $188,000	+3.8%
Median home value	$441,000 (2024)	$636,000	$462,000 to $877,000	+6.3%

The median home would be worth 4.0 years of the median income in 2030, against 3.5 now.
