Population over time
2 figuresMillbrook grew from 1,452 to 1,455 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 2000 | Thunderstorm Wind | Millbrook | $80,000 | no account filed |
| July 1995 | Thunderstorm Wind | Millbrook | $20,000 | One of the most devastating severe weather outbreaks to hit eastern New York this century occurred on the morning of July 15th. A long lived squall line known as a derecho crossed eastern New York during the early morning hours. Extensive tree damage occurred across the area with the Adirondacks being the hardest hit. Damage estimates from the Department of Environmental Conservation indicated that some 900,000 acres of forest were damaged with 125,000 acres of timber in the Adirondack Park sustaining moderate to severe damage. The timber damage is estimated at 1 billion board feet with an estimated value of $204 million. Five deaths and eleven injuries occurred with this event. Most of the deaths and injuries were a result of trees falling on campers in the Adirondacks. Thirty-one hikers and campers had to be removed from the Adirondacks by helicopter as their path out of the woods was blocked. Extensive power outages occurred across eastern New York with 230,000 customers left without power. Livestock deaths were also reported with over 100 sheep, cattle or hogs killed. Times used during this event were estimated due to the very rapid storm movement which exceeded 60 miles an hour. (F43O,M39O,F60O,F10O,F72V) |
