Jeffersonville grew from 1,203 to 1,258 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, 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.

History of Fayette County Ohio, published 1914 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 78 specimens collected within 10 miles of Jeffersonville between 1882 and 1974: 67 Animalia, 6 Fungi, 5 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Bowles, P. (Pearl), Brubaker, J. A. & Higgins, Brubaker, J. A. & Link, B. and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
