Population over time

2 figures

Quogue grew from 967 to 1,662 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.

WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
July 2004Rip CurrentEast Quogue1 killedA persistent south to southwest wind helped to generate rough seas on the ocean on Tuesday the 20th. These rough seas acted to help produce rip currents along the South Shore of Long Island. A 12-year old boy swimming in the surf at Dolphin Beach in East Quogue was caught in a rip current Tuesday evening. The boy was not able to swim out of it...and unfortunately he drowned. His brother was swimming in the general area as well...and was rescued.
