What it’s like
The place. Lindsborg is a small city in McPherson County, Kansas, where most homes are lived in by their owners and a typical household earns a little more than the county's. Fewer residents live below the poverty line than in many places, and more adults hold a four-year degree than is usual in a town this size. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing a good number. The largest workplaces in town include Bethany College, Lindsborg Community Hospital and Bethany Village. Commutes are short, and unemployment across McPherson County has stayed close to where it stood a year ago.
Things to do. Lindstrom Field, a stadium, sits in or beside town. A short drive away are Sharps Creek, a river, and the Paint Creek site, an archaeological site. A longer drive brings you to Kanopolis State Park, a protected area, and Kanopolis Lake, a reservoir.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on McPherson County and the McPherson, KS metro.
