Using questionnaires, interviews, field surveys, secondary sources and the application of descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, the results revealed that the urban poor in Limbe are characterized by low socioeconomic status (mostly immigrants into Limbe who came in search of jobs opportunities but unfortunately could not be employed in the formal sector economic sector due to their low levels of educational attainment and so settled for informal jobs with results being ow-income levels. This makes them purchase cheap marginal lands through the informal market and therefore reside in risk zones in substandard housing structures with no land certificates and building permits despite awareness of the risks involved.
