Population over time
2 figuresStrasburg fell from 141 to 107 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.

| April 2026 | Hail | Strasburg | - | Quarter sized hail reported in Strasburg. |
| July 2025 | Tornado (EF0) | Strasburg | - | A brief/weak tornado developed just west of Strasburg at 821 pm CDT on July 11 with minor tree damage observed near State Route 58. The tornado moved into the village of Strasburg, damaging several trees from the southwest to northeast side of town, where at least a dozen trees were noticeably snapped just south of a corn field just east of town. The last sign of damage was observed on Struzick Road just northeast of Strasburg, where several small tree limbs were downed on a north-south stretch of the road south of 191st Street. Minor damage was also observed near Route 58 on the southeast side of town, but the sporadic nature of the damage and the consistent east direction of minor property, tree, and street sign damage suggest this may have been straight line winds immediately to the south of the tornado. The tornado appears to have lasted approximately two minutes, with a path length less than a mile and a maximum width around 200 yards (though mostly much narrower than this). Max winds were around 70 mph. |
| July 2025 | Thunderstorm Wind | Strasburg | - | Several tree limbs, a road sign, and blown debris at a couple of residences were observed immediately south of a tornado track in Strasburg. This damage appears to be from straight line winds given the consistent east displacement of the damage. |
