Visiting and second-home owners in Lincoln City
Many Lincoln City homes are used only part of the year. The Census counts "seasonal, recreational or occasional-use" homes separately from year-round homes. In the 2020-2024 estimates they are about 2,328 of roughly 7,195 housing units, or 32.4%. That is one of the higher shares on the Oregon coast. The count of 2,328 has a margin of error of plus or minus 299, so the true share could be a few points higher or lower.
