Population over time
2 figuresHuntsville fell from 608 to 573 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2011 | Flood | Huntsville | $50,000 | The South Fork of the Ogden River remained above flood stage for much of the first half of June, peaking at 1318 cfs on June 8th, before finally dropping below flood stage for the rest of the season in mid-June. Most of the damage was already done in earlier parts of the season, but this flooding continued to impact summer homes and campgrounds along the river. |
| May 2011 | Flood | Huntsville | $50,000 | Flooding occurred along the South Fork of the Ogden River from the Causey Reservoir to the Pineview Reservoir, with the gauge near Huntsville peaking at 1554 cfs on May 16th, well above the flood flow of 1019 cfs. This flooding impacted campgrounds and summer homes in and around Huntsville. |
| May 2017 | Flood | Huntsville | $20,000 | Extensive snowmelt caused the South Fork of the Ogden River to exceed flood stage east of the Pineview Reservoir and the town of Huntsville, with flows at the Pineview Reservoir gauge peaking near 1200 cfs. Much of the flooding was mitigated by sandbagging efforts, but minor damage was reported to cabins and lawns near the river. |
