Population over time
2 figuresHollandale grew from 303 to 308 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.

Winds were estimated between 65 and 75 mph with a width of 50 yards. |
| June 2010 | Tornado (EF3) | Hollandale | - | As the Lerdal tornado began to dissipate, it rotated around this new one west of Hollandale. This new EF-3 tornado went on to obliterate a farmstead, with virtually every outbuilding destroyed, and the farm house leveled. It continued northeast and took the roof off a house and destroyed a greenhouse. Just before dissipating, it hit one more farmstead near County Roads 30 and 35, causing damage to outbuildings, minor damage to the house, and uprooting and breaking a couple dozen trees.

| June 2009 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hollandale | - | A few trees were uprooted and corn was damaged about two miles south of the point where the Geneva tornado dissipated. This was due to rear flank downdraft winds associated with the tornadic thunderstorm. |
