Population over time
2 figuresAddieville grew from 252 to 259 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.

| November 2013 | Tornado (EF4) | Addieville | 2 killed, 2 hurt | A tornado touchdown on Interstate 64, about 4.4 miles southwest of New Minden, blowing a tractor trailer off the interstate and causing minor injuries to the driver. The tornado then began moving northeast towards New Minden. The worst damage was about 2 miles west southwest of New Minden, where a small farm sustained a direct hit. The outbuildings and barns sustained varying degrees of damage, but the homestead was totally destroyed with only the foundation remaining. The damage at the homestead was rated EF4, and two fatalities occurred at this location. Also, a large full size van was rolled over. Less than a quarter of a mile east of the house, a single wide mobile home was destroyed. There were 4 people at this location, three of them sought shelter in the creek bed just east of the mobile home while one went back to mobile home to retrieve something. This person rode out the tornado in the bathtub, but was thrown about 50 feet into a field. One of his ankles was broken. He was treated and released from a local hospital. The tornado then continued to race northeast, hitting the far north side of New Minden north of Illinois Route 177, and producing significant damage to St. Johns Lutheran Church and to several homes just northwest of the church. Damage to two of the homes was rated EF3. The tornado continued northeast, producing sporadic damage to just north of Hoyleton. A farm 2 miles west-northwest of Hoyleton sustained significant damage, as did a newly constructed home 2 miles north of Hoyleton. Damage at these two locations were rated EF2. The tornado then veered a bit northwest and dissipated. Overall, the entire tornado path length was 10.59 miles with a max path width of 200 yards. The tornado was rated EF4 with max wind speeds of at least 166 MPH. There were two fatalities and 2 minor injuries. |
| September 2012 | Thunderstorm Wind | Addieville | 1 hurt | Rear flank downdraft winds associated with a tornadic thunderstorm destroyed an empty grain bin on a farm on Canary Road, just south of I-64. Then the winds blew over an east bound tractor trailer on I-64 near where the interstate crosses over County Road 4. The driver sustained minor injuries. |
| March 2025 | Hail | Addieville | $2,500 | Wind driven quarter sized hail damaged the siding of a building in Addieville. |
| January 2012 | Thunderstorm Wind | Addieville | - | Thunderstorm winds blew the skylight and doors off of a shed on a farm northeast of Addieville. Also, five windsow were blown out on an unoccupied farm house and a grain auger was blown over. The debris was scattered up to half a mile from the farmstead. |
| June 2009 | Hail | Addieville | - | Golfball sized hail fell just north of Addieville causing major siding damage to one home as well as several windows in that home and the home next door. Crops in the area sustained some hail damage as well. |
| June 2003 | Tornado (F1) | Addieville | - | The bow echo system on June 10, 2003 spawned another tornado over parts of west-central Washington County, Illinois. This damage path, 14 miles, was long compared to the other tornadoes on that day. Twelve machine sheds, barns, homes, other types of out-buildings sustained varying degrees of damage while numerous trees were along the tornado's path were either severed or uprooted. Debris at several locations along the damage path was driven into the ground 1 to 2 feet deep at 45 to 60 degree angles. In contrast to the other tornadoes on this day, this tornado occurred south of the apex of the bow echo. The width of the damage track varied from 40 to 60 yards. The damage was rated F1 intensity. It is interesting to point out that this tornado track was nearly identical to the damage track of a tornado that occurred in this area with a bow echo event on May 18, 1995. |
