Population over time

2 figures

Haviland fell from 215 to 160 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.

October 2010	Tornado (EF1)	Haviland	-	This tornado is a continuation of Van Wert County circulation. The circulation remained over open fields as it moved towards Haviland. As the tornado passed through town, a garage door was blown in, with numerous houses suffering shingle damage and scattered tree damage. As the circulation continued rapidly northeast, a total of three barns were damaged, with two of the barns destroyed and the third having a large door ripped off. A house suffered siding damage mainly from debris striking the house. The debris resulted in a few windows being broken with at least 2 boards being driven into a wall and roof portion. The debris was carried roughly one half mile towards the northeast. The tornado then crossed near County Roads 117 and 72, where two large trees were uprooted and a house sustained window and roof damage. The last damage was found in the town of Broughton where a house and trees sustained damage. The debris from this damage was found in a field to the northeast, where it appeared to have lifted near County Road 102, east of County Road 123. Maximum sustained winds were estimated to be around 100 mph.
