About Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire is a somewhat small town located in the state of Illinois. With a population of 7,126 people and just one neighborhood, Lincolnshire is the 257th largest community in Illinois.

Lincolnshire is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 90.65% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Lincolnshire is a town of sales and office workers, managers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Lincolnshire who work in management occupations (22.72%), sales jobs (19.60%), and office and administrative support jobs (11.83%).

Also of interest is that Lincolnshire has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

In addition, Lincolnshire is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates." Urban sophisticates are educated, wealthy, executives and professionals, who have urbane tastes in books, food, and travel, whether they actually live in a big city, or choose to reside in a small town. In big or medium-sized cities, urban sophisticates tend to frequent art institutions such as opera, symphonies, ballet, live theatre, and museums.

Because of many things, Lincolnshire is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Lincolnshire really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Lincolnshire perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic night life, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

As is often the case in a small town, Lincolnshire doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
