Population over time
2 figuresCrandall fell from 152 to 134 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.

| April 2024 | Tornado (EF1) | Crandall | - | The National Weather Service in Louisville conducted a damage assessment survey of a tornado that started at a property off of Hidden Springs Drive in far eastern Harrison County, Indiana and ended near Watts Road, just south of Georgetown, in Floyd County. Video clearly showed the tornado touching down multiple times. ||The tornado initially touched down and damaged a house off of Hidden Springs Drive. Much of the landscaping around the house wasn't disturbed. An outdoor hot tub on the northern end of the west side of the house had its heavy cover broke and thrown to the |southwest. The southwest side of this well constructed house had a section of its roof decking torn off and thrown which can be seen in the video. Wind speeds were estimated at 95 mph based on this damage. In one area of the house, the damage penetrated the ceiling. In other parts, the ceiling has been lifted away from the walls. Much of the soffit around the house has been sucked in or blown out. Some insulation from the attic is stuck to the east side of the house with additional amounts on the south facing exposed surfaces like door jambs and light fixtures. This is evidence of cyclonic flow. A patio chair that was sitting behind the house was found approximately 133 yards away in the woods. ||Approximately 100 yards east of the house, a few mature trees have been snapped on the edge of the woods. Farther in the woods, roofing debris was found on the ground and in trees as far 380 yards from where it came. The main section of roof that was |thrown, and can been seen on video, wasn't located. Many trees were freshly damaged or uprooted in the woods, but many of those were already dead. ||The video showed the tornado strengthening and weakening with a condensation funnel barely visible at times. It showed inflow being pulled into the tornado which was strong enough to bring down compromised trees. The tornado can also be seen dropping and lifting very small vortices as it approached Georgetown. Minor tree damage was found off of Georges Hill Road and west of Georgetown County Line Road before the tornado cross into Floyd County. |
