Population over time
3 figuresGreensboro fell from 619 to 461 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.

Storms near this place
13 since 1997Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Greensboro in 13 storm reports between 1997 and 2025: 9 thunderstorm wind, 2 tornado, 2 hail. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 2019 | Tornado (EF1) | Greensboro | $50,000 | This EF-1 tornado touched down just west of Pat Thomas Highway, FL Route 267, and just north of Cox Lane. The tornado flipped a single-wide mobile home upside down. On the opposite side of the highway, a couple of large pine trees snapped, one of which crashed through the roof of a home narrowly crushing a couple that were in bed at the time. Fortunately, no one was injured. The tornado continued east southeast roughly paralleling the CSX tracks. An aerial survey showed trees snapped along the route. Ground surveys showed damage to homes along Jim Williams road. The tornado reached its greatest strength at this point, snapping a few small utility poles, removing about half the roof of one home and damaging a couple of others. The tornado lifted just beyond the end of this road. Damage cost was estimated. |
