Population over time

2 figures

Eatonville grew from 2,159 to 2,349 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.

WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
October 2016Flash FloodEatonville$10,000Three to five inches of rain fell within metro Orlando in less than an hour due to a stationary thunderstorm. Numerous cars became stranded in water over a foot deep and required first responders to rescue at least five motorists in Pine Hills. The rush of water was so strong, it tore the front bumper off one car and nearly flipped it over. Six inches of water entered cars and the high water approached the front doors of businesses. Several major roadways were closed due to the high water. High water also flooded streets and drains overflowed at Lee Road and Interstate 4, and the intersection of Mills Avenue and Colonial Drive in Orlando.
July 2017HailEatonville-Broadcast Media relayed video of nickel sized hail in a suburban area near the intersection of State Road 423 and Interstate 4.
