The population of Lincoln County grew steadily from 1880 until 1920.  For the next 40 years, its population remained relatively flat. Between 1960 and 2000, it grew by 33%, a trend that has since been reversed.  Lincoln County has lost an estimated 5.5% of its population of the 2000 federal census.
