Population over time

2 figures

Enon grew from 2,415 to 2,449 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.

April 2017Tornado (EF0)Enon$30,000The first evidence of damage occurred to a home and farm |buildings along Dayton-Springfield Road southwest of Enon. ||While there were numerous homes in the area which sustained tree |damage and lightweight debris damage, the vast majority of this |damage was from straight line winds estimated at 70 mph. The wind |damage was southwest to northeast with no evidence of tornadic |winds making direct contact with the ground nor debris found on |downwind sides of buildings.||There was embedded damage to a farm home and barns where large|sections of roofing material were peeled off and lofted, causing|damage to the downwind home. There was additional roof damage to|the home and 2 additional farm buildings. The southward facing|garage door to the home was blown inward. Two combines located in|one of the outbuildings were pushed downwind, with the outbuilding|itself collapsed. ||Where there was evidence of tornado damage was in the |downwind/northeast facing wall of the home and one of the barns, |where debris splatter was observed. Because of heavy rain after |the passage of the storm, direct ground damage indicative of a |tornado in contact with the ground was inconclusive.
