Population over time
3 figuresAlmyra grew from 252 to 256 between 1910 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate, and an estimate published within five years of a census is left out. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

The National Weather Service names Almyra in 14 storm reports between 1995 and 2025: 6 thunderstorm wind, 5 hail, 2 tornado, 1 funnel cloud. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 2013 | Thunderstorm Wind | Almyra | $15,000 | Trees and power lines were blown down. |

| October 2014 | Thunderstorm Wind | Almyra | $5,000 | Trees were blown down. |
| April 2025 | Tornado (EF1) | Almyra | - | This tornado is believed to have begun west of Old Almyra Way south of Almyra where debris was noted in a field roughly 100-200 yards to the east of the first Almyra tornado which occurred nearly 25 minutes prior. This tornado then tracked northeast crossing near the intersection of Moss Road and Vos Road where several wooden power poles were snapped. There was a clear delineation in damage between the first Almyra tornado and the second. No additional damage could be found farther northeast, so this is likely where the tornado dissipated. This tornado was rated an EF1 with maximum estimated winds of 110 mph. The path length was 0.9 miles. |
