Population over time

2 figures

Neville fell from 100 to 87 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.

Along Ohio River the valley floor, which consists of level bottom lands, ranges from one-half to 1 mile in width. Along Little Miami River and East Fork Little Miami River, except at the junction of these streams where the valley is 2 miles wide, places where the valley floors may be from one-half to three-fourths mile in width, are immediately succeeded by narrow tracts, little more than wide enough to accommodate the stream bed, with steep slopes on both sides. Along the principal streams of the county there are 2 or 8 levels, where well-defined terraces exist; and 2 higher levels, where remnants of very old terraces occur.
