Population over time

2 figures

Jeffersonville grew from 359 to 368 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 2023Tornado (EF2)Jeffersonville$200,000A tornado touched down north of Jeffersonville, along Callicoon Center Road near Laundry Brook, damaging trees.

Severe damage to historic barns, a garage, and outbuildings occurred. A 180 foot truss tower collapsed, completely bending into three sections.

A large blowdown of mixed trees also occurred in this area. Damage ranged from EF1 to EF2 in this area. ||The tornado continued north, causing another hardwood blowdown off of Gulf Road, with mostly tree damage along nearby Dutch Hill Road.
