One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.52% 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.

A large number of seniors call Lincolnshire home: people 65 and over are 32.99% of the population. Because of the prominence of the retirement community, this is good place for the over-65 crowd to settle, as many of the village’s services and social community are geared to this demographic.

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 nightlife, 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.

Despite being a small village, Lincolnshire has a lot of people using the train to get to and from work every day. Most of these people on the train are using it to get to good jobs in other cities.
