It seems that you have one observation for each county and year, at a wild guess some sort of county mean. Where is the information on variability that would enable you to construct a Lorenz curve? At most you can pool the counties to get a distribution for each year, but then you still have no information on variability within county. Typing -findit- with appropriate keywords will reveal several user-written programs, but they seem beyond what you can use.
