Census and American Community Survey (ACS) data show healthy and stable population trends in the City of Lake Ozark, despite some inconsistencies in numbers that could go back to a more inaccurate count in 2000.
Comparing the last two censuses, there was only a 7 percent increase in total population. The Census showed Lake Ozark at 1,489 in 2000 then at 1,586 in 2010.
