Population over time
2 figuresRosine fell from 113 to 110 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 2021 | Tornado (EF0) | Rosine | - | The National Weather Service conducted the storm survey in Ohio County. A bow echo structure created a very brief spin up tornado in the Rosine community in eastern Ohio County. ||The tornado touched down about 200 yards west of the Dollar General store. The tornado did some minor roof damage to the Dollar General store, along with the snapping and uprooting of a few trees. Drone imagery clearly saw the trees pointing in multiple directions. Winds in this area were estimated between 75 and 80 mph. ||The tornado was very intermittent as it moved to the east-northeast, with more substantial damage along State Highway 1544 in Rosine. Several homes received shingle damage, along with snapped and uprooted trees. ||A large RV protective carport was picked up and thrown about 50 yards, and subsequently a telephone pole was sheared off. A single wide mobile home was pushed off of its cinder block foundation to the southwest about 7 feet. Another mobile home sustained roof damage, and there was also significant rock and mud spatter against three sides of the mobile home. Winds were estimated to be a maximum of 85 mph in this area with a width of 50 yards. ||There were a number of cedar trees sheared off half way up the trees. Metal siding was thrown downwind up to 500 yards into the forest. The tornado lifted shortly after hitting those mobile homes. |
