Population over time

3 figures

Davenport fell from 881 to 809 between 2000 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
May 2003Tornado (F1)Davenport$500,000This tornado began just south-southwest of Davenport and moved northeast through southeastern portions of town. The tornado continued northeast entering the Stroud city limits southwest of downtown before dissipating within town, east of downtown. The tornado began northwest of the intersection of Santa Fe Avenue and EW091 Road. Shortly after touching down, the tornado peeled the southwest side of a barn roof. The tornado entered the Davenport city limits causing minor tree damage. A metal roof was slightly peeled just north of the intersection of Broadway and Frisco Street. The tornado continued across southern and eastern portions of town downing tree limbs and breaking a few windows. On the east edge of Davenport, the left field light standards of the baseball field were blown over and a referee box behind home plate had blown north-northwestward about 30 feet and broken apart. The right field light standards appeared intact. The only notable damage in town was on the eastern edge (to the southwest of the baseball field) where a sturdy wood-frame car port was apparently lifted and then collapsed on the owner's SUV. Minor damage to shingles and siding continued as the tornado moved northeast towards Stroud.The first area of damage of note within Stroud occurred north of West Elm Street approximately 0.4 miles west of Highway 377. Numerous tree limbs and small decorative trees were downed along with sections of privacy fences blown over and shingle damage to several homes. As the tornado continued northeast, one of two areas of F1 damage was found near the center of town. A home just southwest of the corner of South 9th Avenue and West Oak Street had a missing roof. The home sustained the heaviest roof damage in the southwest corner where all ceiling joists were missing. The ceiling/roof section was found upside down about 100 feet northeast of the house with the ceiling fan still attached but badly damaged. The east half of the small house still had a ceiling. A car port on the north side of the house was still attached but showed cracks indicating it may have shifted. A small home behind this house had a portion of its roof and siding peeled off. Other nearby damage occurred just west of Highway 377, halfway between West Joe Street and West Hillcrest Street. An engineered metal storage building had the southeast corner of roof and east wall blown out with the south wall caved in.The other area of F1 damage began along the railroad tracks on North First Street just east of South 4th Avenue where an open metal storage structure collapsed. More damage was noted at a building behind the fire station (located just north of the railroad tracks and just east of North 3rd Avenue). The south-facing cinder block wall of this building fell outward. About half of the roofing material, including tar paper, was missing from this roof. Vehicle windows were also broken in this location.The remainder of damage in town was light, typified by shingles missing, large tree limbs downed, garage doors damaged, windows broken, and fences downed. The track appeared to end somewhat abruptly at the east edge of town, where a food storage facility and another industrial building did not appear to have much damage.In Stroud seventy homes were damaged with six rendered uninhabitable. Nine businesses were also damaged.
