Population over time

2 figures

Glenmoor fell from 1,987 to 1,829 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.

This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

The National Weather Service names Glenmoor in 4 storm reports between 1998 and 2020: 3 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.

The tornado snapped or uprooted|numerous hardwood and softwood trees, causing several to fall on|structures and power lines. Although many of the mobile homes|encountered along the path were spared direct wind damage, it is |suspected that the trees surrounding them absorbed much of the |wind and spared the homes damage from the strongest wind.||A few outbuildings of varying degrees of structural integrity|suffered damage as well. In multiple cases, metal roof panels were|ripped off. In another, a particularly well-built small shed lost|several shingles and a piece of roofing. A less-sturdy but|medium-size outbuilding collapsed when its north-facing wall |caved in.||In several focused spots along the path, concentrated, near-total|tree damage was encountered consistent with EF1 wind speed (90|mph). Much of the remaining damage was consistent with 70-80 mph |wind.
