Population over time

2 figures

Maywood grew from 261 to 262 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.

Medicine Creek rose rapidly and produced significant damage at Arrowhead Golf Course in Curtis.
May 2007Flash FloodMaywood$75,000Thunderstorms produced very heavy rainfall of 2 to 4 inches across northern Frontier County.
