Population over time

3 figures

Daisy fell from 118 to 88 between 2000 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.

WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
April 2011Tornado (EF1)Daisy$200,000The tornado removed part of the second floor from a house, and damaged barns and outbuildings. Numerous trees were blown down, with trees landing on a house, a mobile home, and a vehicle.
July 2018Thunderstorm WindDaisy$100,000Damage occurred near Lake Greeson and in areas to the south, near Murfreesboro. |Near Lake Greeson, damage to the roof of the marina was found, along with docks E and D. The damage near Murfreesboro was several trees blown down. A review of videos taken at the time reveal a circulation over Lake Greeson when the damage occurred. From the video evidence and a careful review of radar data, a strong microburst occurred in between Daisy and Murfreesboro resulting in a sustained circulation over Lake Greeson that, when over land, is typically referred to as a gustnado. This appeared to be a gustnado over water. With the damage being initiated by downdraft, it is considered thunderstorm wind damage.
