Population over time

2 figures

Hollister fell from 50 to 35 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
August 2018Thunderstorm WindHollister$300,000Around 110 power poles were downed including several double poled transmission poles. Windows were blown out of 10 homes, a newly constructed barn was destroyed and numerous trailer homes and outbuildings had tin lifted from their roofs. Also, multiple trees were downed. Time estimated from radar.
April 2024Tornado (EF1)Hollister$50,000This tornado was first observed by a storm chaser at 932 pm CDT and likely formed near County Road E1830 just east of County Road N2320. Over the next 40 minutes, the tornado meandered slowly eastward along E1830 Road then turned northeast reaching near N2360 Road and E1820 Road. The tornado then turned and moved west-northwest along EW1820 Road finally dissipating near N2340 Road. The tornado occurred in a very rural area of Tillman County, although two farm homes were damaged near the easternmost point of the tornado path. A few barns were also damaged, otherwise the damage was primarily to trees and a few power poles. ||Although the damage is rated as EF1, velocity data from the nearby KFDR radar gives strong indication that the tornado may have been much stronger than observed damage would indicate. The maximum observed rotational velocity from KFDR reached 114 knots.
May 2022Thunderstorm WindHollister$50,000South of the tornado that passed south of Hollister, very strong winds associated with the read-flank downdraft area of the storm also produced significant damage. A power pole was damaged near the intersection of county roads E1880 and N2280. Farther east, a trailer was rolled and blown into the road along SH-54. A storm chaser in the vicinity of this location estimated RFD winds of approximately 100 mph.
