Population over time
2 figuresLisbon fell from 285 to 271 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.

| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2024 | Tornado (EF1) | Lisbon | - | A tornado with estimated peak winds of 110 mph touched down just east of Ashley Road about halfway between Sherrill Road and Whitewillow Road. The tornado moved east northeast producing sporadic tree damage until it crossed County Line Road and moved into Will County, just south of Mound Road. |
| May 2023 | Hail | Lisbon | - | A photo shared on social media showed hail up to 1.75 inches in diameter. Location was estimated. Time was based on the timestamp on the photo. |
| July 2023 | Tornado (EF0) | Lisbon | - | A brief EF-0 tornado touched down in corn fields just east of Highway 47 and north of Whitewillow Rd east of Lisbon. It was on the ground for only a short time before lifting at Whitewillow Rd and Ashley Rd. Damage was confined to crops and a few trees which had large limbs broken off. High resolution satellite data showed a clear path in a corn field that corresponded to damage seen during an in-person damage survey, east of a tornado that lifted to the west. A gap in damage was noted between the tornado to the west and this tornado, giving confidence there were two separate tornadoes. |
