Living in Lincoln City



Lincoln City is a medium-sized coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Oregon. With a population of 10,007 people and five associated neighborhoods, Lincoln City is the 60th largest community in Oregon.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 15.60% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Another notable thing is that Lincoln City is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the city experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller city.

One of the nice things about Lincoln City is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

One of the benefits of Lincoln City is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 16.72 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.

The percentage of people in Lincoln City who are college-educated is somewhat higher than the average US community of 21.84%: 28.14% of adults in Lincoln City have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Lincoln City in 2022 was $39,649, which is upper middle income relative to Oregon and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $158,596 for a family of four. However, Lincoln City contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

Lincoln City is a very ethnically-diverse city. The people who call Lincoln City home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups.
