Population over time

2 figures

Sebring fell from 4,420 to 4,191 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.

August 2007Flash FloodSebring$75,000Heavy rain fell across the area during the morning hours of the 20th. Flash flooding conditions quickly developed during the mid morning hours with basements flooding, and roads becoming flooding causing cars to become stranded. A commercial building was flooded because the water got so high in the street that passing vehicles created waves. These waves hit up against the front of the building and eventually water got inside the building. During the afternoon a vehicle rescue was performed on someone trapped in floodwaters. By the afternoon, a rainfall report from Beloit measured 2.81 inches of rain since 4:00 am. Since the afternoon of the 19th, a total of 3.09 inches of rain fell there.
