Worthing is a small town located in Lincoln County, South Dakota, just south of Sioux Falls, the state’s largest city. It has a population of 993, as of July 2008. This shows an increase in population of about 70%.
The population increase is due, in part, to people moving to the area to work in Sioux Falls, about 15 miles away.
