Population over time
2 figuresHayden fell from 662 to 512 between 2010 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| August 2012 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hayden | $5,000 | Isolated thunderstorms developed across portions of southern Gila county, including the area around Hayden, during the afternoon hours on August 8th. The very hot and rather dry nature of the airmass allowed the storms to produce strong and gusty microburst winds. In fact, a Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued for the area at about 440 pm in the afternoon. According to local law enforcement, at 510 pm strong microburst wind gusts estimated to be at least 50 knots caused numerous tree branches to be blown down. In addition, the gusty winds blew a number of shingles off of area roofs. |
