Population over time

2 figures

Albee fell from 16 to 7 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.

The track would continue roughly three miles north in the vicinity of 153rd St. Another farm would sustain damage, with tops of trees missing in one shelterbelt and uprooted and snapped trees in a second shelterbelt. The dormer of the residence was ripped off and landed 85 to 100 yards from the house in a northeast direction. North of this property a dairy farm had a machine shed with collapsed walls. This farm was housing dairy cattle that were transported from the Estelline area after a May 12 tornado destroyed barns on that property. The last indication of the tornado track was through a shelter belt a quarter mile north of 153rd St.
