Population over time
2 figuresCovedale grew from 6,447 to 6,472 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. 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.

| July 2016 | Thunderstorm Wind | Covedale | $500,000 | Extensive structural and tree damage occurred from the eastern portions of Westwood eastward into the Clifton area. Damage in this area was determined to be a result of straight-line winds.||Some of the most significant damage from straight-line winds occurred in East Westwood along Westwood Northern Boulevard. Two brick two story apartment buildings were damaged. Much of the roof of one building was removed and a significant portion of the other was blown off and thrown behind the buildings. Some debris from the second level of the buildings was also tossed behind both buildings. In addition, several large tree branches were knocked down, and these branches were generally pointing toward the same direction.||To the east of Interstate 75 in the Clifton area, additional damage was surveyed. Much of the damage consisted of large healthy tree limbs being knocked down and a few evergreen trees being uprooted, particularly along Senator Avenue. Chimney damage was also noted on one home and a portion of the roof of a church on Clifton Avenue was also removed. Damage in the Clifton area exhibited a pattern consistent with straight-line winds which likely were in the 90 to 100 mph range. |

Numerous 10 to 12 inch diameter or greater tree branches were knocked down, with the branches pointing in multiple directions along this stretch. Several hardwood trees were also blown down. Power poles and wires were also knocked down, particularly along Werk Road. Minor structural damage was observed to several two story residences along Boudinot Avenue, much of that consisting of roof shingles and siding being removed from multiple sides of the homes.||Additional large tree branches were downed along Ferguson Road between Werk Road and Westbrook Drive. The last evidence of tornadic damage was observed along Werk Road near the intersection of McKinley Avenue, and that also consisted of large tree branches knocked down and pointing in opposing directions. Damage was EF0 in nature along the track of the tornado, with maximum winds around 80 mph. |
