EcoScore Ratings
| Category | Score (out of 10) | Insights |
|---|---|---|
| Green Space | 7/10 | Long Beach has a strong park network with standouts like El Dorado Regional Park and Bluff Park, though some neighborhoods have less access. |
| Walkability | 8/10 | Downtown (Walk Score: 93) and Belmont Shore (89) are very walkable; city average is strong at 72. |
| Transit Access | 6/10 | Long Beach Transit and Metro A-Line (Blue) serve key corridors, but suburban zones rely more on cars. |
| Air Quality | 7/10 | Coastal breeze helps; air is generally good but affected by port activity and freeway traffic in some neighborhoods. |
| Noise & Light Pollution | 6.5/10 | Busy areas near the port, downtown, and freeways are louder and brighter; quieter inland zones exist but vary. |
Why It Matters
Long Beach is a city of contrasts: it offers parks, coastlines, and dense walkable areas, but also traffic, pollution, and car dependency in others. EcoScore helps reveal those trade-offs—so you’re not just choosing by price, but by how a neighborhood actually feels to live in.
