Who Lives At The Lake?

By Fran Campbell - November 17, 2015

The Lake may have earned its fame as a top vacation destination, but our area is recognized as much more than that today. In addition to the thousands of tourists that come every year, the Lake Area is home to thousands of year-round residents and hundreds of thriving businesses. In this blog, Fran Campbell Team is here to help shed some light on the demographic profiles of those people lucky enough to call the Lake of the Ozarks their home.

Before we delve into the Lake Area's numbers, we want to point out an important factor. The last official census was performed in 2010, which means we are halfway to our next census. Keep in mind, then, that the numbers represented here may not represent our true population size as of today; however, they represent the most recent data we have available. (Source: LOREDC)
