Population over time
3 figuresNetarts grew from 744 to 894 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.

Tillamook County EM reported Kilchis River just north of Tillamook had minor flooding. The Wilson River at Tillamook also remained in minor flood stage during a 30-hour period, cresting at 16.07 feet at 330 pm on December 5th. Flood stage is 12.0 feet. The Trask River also rose above minor flood stage, cresting at 17.0 feet at 10 pm on December 5th. Flood stage is 16.5 feet. Rockaway Beach in southern Tillamook County had localized flooding due to heavy rain. Manzanita in northern Tillamook County had a power outage probably due to downed trees on power lines.
