Population over time
2 figuresGrandin fell from 243 to 226 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2011 | Tornado (EF3) | Grandin | $300,000 | The tornado reached its peak intensity about a mile east of Ellsinore, where an unanchored modular home with a conventionally-built addition was almost entirely blown away and carried an unknown distance. Several large oak trees were nubbed out. Several homes east of Ellsinore received moderate to major damage. The wall of one house was blown off, along with the back of the roof. Hundreds of trees were blown down. In the Grandin area, two mobile homes were destroyed, and a school suffered major damage, including the loss of an entire roof system. Hundreds of acres of large trees were uprooted or snapped. Between Grandin and Ellsinore, telephone poles were snapped and several cows were killed. A National Weather Service damage survey team found the presence of suction vortices east of Ellsinore. The suction vortices were reported by at least one trained spotter during the tornado. A national television crew aired video of the tornado in progress near Ellsinore. Peak winds were estimated near 150 mph. The average path width was 200 yards. The tornado path continued into Wayne County. |
| May 2020 | Tornado (EF0) | Grandin | $75,000 | The EF-0 tornado along the southern border of Carter County contained estimated peak winds of 85 mph, uprooting or damaging dozens of trees along its path. On Highway 21 between Grandin and the Ripley County line, the tornado pushed over several wooden electrical poles. The tornado also removed a small section of the roof of a manufactured home. The tornado was along the northern edge of a macroburst that was primarily over northern Ripley County. |
| June 2008 | Tornado (EF1) | Grandin | $50,000 | The tornado touched down near the Grandin City Park on the east side of Grandin. A few trees were blown down at the ball fields. The tornado continued east, affecting two residences along County Road 247 just east of town. One house sustained moderate shingle damage. A second house sustained major roof damage. A large barn was heavily damaged, with one wall and door blown off. Large sections of roof were missing. Numerous large trees were snapped or uprooted. Trees on the south side of the track were laying in a northwest direction. South to north striations were easily visible in tall field grass. Several eyewitnesses clearly indicated a funnel cloud touched down. The track end point was estimated due to the fact the damage path continued into woods and fields that were inaccessible by vehicle. Peak wind speeds were estimated at 90 mph. The average path width was 75 yards. |
