Population over time
2 figuresLe Roy grew from 256 to 260 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.
| Year | People | Change |

| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| August 2018 | Thunderstorm Wind | Le Roy | $100,000 | A narrow corridor of damaging winds was surveyed near Wells lake. The damage started just west of 170th ave and continued over Wells lake eastward. Several trees were uprooted or snapped west of the lake with winds estimated near 70 mph. More extensive damage was found on the east side of the lake where two boats were flipped and nearly every tree was snapped or uprooted. ||Eyewitness accounts of the winds lasting on the order of minutes as well as the prevalence of damage oriented northwestward suggested straight line winds rather than a tornado. |
