Population over time
2 figuresDavie grew from 91,992 to 105,691 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.

The damage path began near Hiatus Road and NW 6 ST, ending near Clearly Blvd and Central Park Place North. Most concentrated area of damage was along NW 6 ST from NW 106 Ave block to Nob Hill Rd, then along Cleary Blvd from Nob Hill to NW 98 Ave. ||Tornado was initially rated an EF-1, but subsequent review of the damage suggests that tree damage resembling typical EF-1 level damage was instead influenced by a high canopy and shallow root system which can lead to large trees toppling at relatively low wind speeds. Therefore, final rating is EF-0 (peak wind 85 mph), near the threshold of EF-1.||Damage total provided is a general estimate and based mostly on the number of trees damaged. |
