Population over time
2 figuresManlius fell from 4,704 to 4,662 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.

| August 1998 | Flash Flood | Manlius | 1 killed, $20,000 | As a severe thunderstorm moved through the region early in the evening, it dumped torrential rains. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches were observed in less than 30 minutes. This caused the Limestone Creek to quickly rise out of its banks. A four year old girl was out playing by the creek near her backyard when waters rapidly rose. She was caught in the rushing water and found downstream later that evening. Unfortunately, she did not survive the ordeal. Some minor damage was also incurred to portions of other properties from the force of the water. Later that evening, water levels receded about as quickly as they came up. |
