Population over time

2 figures

Redington Beach fell from 1,427 to 1,376 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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Redington Beach in 1 storm report in 2021: 1 tornado. 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.

WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
February 2021Tornado (EF0)Redington Beach$20,000A round of strong nocturnal thunderstorms rolled in|from the Eastern Gulf of Mexico during the overnight hours of |February 14th. One of these storms took on brief supercell |characteristics with strong rotation evident on radar as it came |into Redington Beach. A NWS meteorologist was unable to find |damage on the barrier island itself, so it was determined a |waterspout formed over Boca Ciega Bay in Pinellas County, moving |generally northeast. The waterspout then came onshore and caused a|very narrow swath of EF-0 damage along Boca Ciega Point Blvd N. |The tornado then tracked north-northeast and caused roof damage to|the Ridgeview apartment complex. The peak intensity of 75 mph was|determined by the roof decking damage here... The tornado then |quickly dissipated.
