With Anaheim 17 miles to the east and Santa Ana 19 miles to the east, Long Beach forms its own dominant demand center rather than a satellite of either. The California state capital, Sacramento, is 380 miles to the northwest of Long Beach. Long Beach has a population of 469,428, ranking 7th of 212 covered California cities and accounting for about 1.7% of their total population. Long Beach is in the southern part of California (the Pacific Coast).
