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 destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the city’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

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.

Residents of the city have the good fortune of having one of the shortest daily commutes compared to the rest of the country. On average, they spend only 16.72 minutes getting to work every day.

In terms of college education, Lincoln City is somewhat better educated than the 21.84% who have a 4-year degree or higher in the typical US community: 28.14% of adults 25 and older in the 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.
