Population over time
2 figuresDeltona grew from 85,182 to 93,692 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.

| May 2009 | Flood | Deltona | $68,600,000 | Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall over five days lead to several feet of standing water in many areas of eastern Volusia County. Rainfall totals reached 18 to 28 inches in several coastal areas. In addition to the accumulation of rain water, onshore flow and high tides over northeast Florida restricted water from draining into the intracoastal waterways, leading to a persistence of high water levels in many neighborhoods. Damage surveys determined 1531 homes were damaged in the county nearly 69 million dollars in damages and expenses. One indirect fatality was attributed to the flooding, when an intoxicated man fell into high waters and drowned. The man was last seen in Daytona Beach on May 21, and his body was discovered in Holly Hill on May 23. |
