Population over time

3 figures

Hogansville grew from 2,774 to 3,267 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.

April 2006HailHogansville$550,000A thunderstorm producing very large hail affected much of far eastern Troup county. The thunderstorm entered the county just north of Hogansville and exited just southeast of Mountville. A number of reports of very large hail were received from the county 911 center, storm spotters, and the public as the storm traveled through the county. Golf ball, baseball, and even tennis ball-sized hail were observed from Hogansville to Mountville. A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service the following day confirmed that roofs of homes in the area sustained significant damage and trees in the area were stripped of leaves by the large hail.
May 2008Tornado (EF2)Hogansville$50,000A survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City, Georgia confirmed that a second tornado touched down in Troup county. This was spawned by the same thunderstorm that earlier spawned the first tornado south of Louise. This second tornado was also rated an EF2, touching down initially 4.5 south-southeast of Hogansville along the 1100 block of Perkins Road. The tornado tracked about one mile east-northeast across Troup county before crossing into Meriwether county.

Just before the tornado crossed into Meriwether county, near the intersection of Perkins Road and Duchesne Lane along the Troup/Meriwether county line, it completly lifted the roof off a brick home and partially destroyed a cinder block outbuilding. The path length within Troup county was approximately one mile with a maximum path width of 300 yards.
