Population over time
2 figuresFillmore grew from 715 to 2,592 between 1860 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.

| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| August 2013 | Flash Flood | Fillmore | $20,000 | Significant flash flooding was reported along Chalk Creek following a heavy thunderstorm. The dramatically increased flow damaged two campgrounds in the area, washed out one bridge, and knocked down several trees along the banks. |
| July 2023 | Flash Flood | Fillmore | $1,000 | Heavy rain and thunderstorms impacted the Halfway Hill Fire burn scar area during the afternoon hours. Subsequently, the Millard County Emergency Manager reported that there were heavy flows out of Copleys Canyon within the burn scar, with flows and debris across the main canyon road and into a campground. This required rock and debris removal. |
