Population over time
2 figuresOsgood fell from 1,624 to 1,587 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 2022 | Tornado (EF0) | Osgood | $100,000 | The first tornadic damage was observed along U.S. Route 421 near Jan-Cen-Del Community Schools and extended northeast and then east before dissipating just north of State Road 350, just west of Finks Road. There were several areas that sustained straight line wind damage of similar wind magnitude outside of this path.||The first notable damage was broken tree branches and chimney damage along U.S. Highway 421 just west of the school. The tornado caused roof damage at the school and damaged other light objects around the school. A light pole in the athletic fields north of the school was also knocked down. Blowing debris also caused damage to some buses parked at the school.||Further east, the tornado traveled just north of State Route 350, where additional trees were either uprooted or snapped. Snapped trees resulted in substantial damage to an outbuilding in the 700 block of West State Route 350.||While additional damage of similar strength was observed along West Fairground Road and other locations to the north and east of Osgood, this damage was attributed to wind damage from the line of strong storms that swept through the area at the same time as the tornado. |
