Population over time

2 figures

Logan fell from 589 to 460 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.

The runoff from this rain resulted in major flooding of the North Fork Solomon River. The river gauge located just south of Glade was above flood stage of 11 feet for almost 48 hours, and a new record crest occurred with a stage of 18.55 feet at 1:45 a.m. CST on September 5th.
