Madeira, Ohio

Madeira grew from 8,726 to 9,487 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.

1789 History of Hamilton County Ohio with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches, published 1881 names this settlement in its chapter on Madeira City. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 7,089 specimens collected within 10 miles of Madeira between 1819 and 1975: 4,126 Fungi, 1,691 Animalia, 813 Plantae, 407 Protozoa, 31 Unrecorded, 21 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by 14753, A. Braun, A. F. Braun 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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists 8 workings within 5 miles of Madeira: 4 past producers, 2 unknowns, 1 producer, 1 plant. 2 still produce. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction, Zirconium, Titanium, Zirconium. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
