Population over time
2 figuresPleasant View grew from 7,979 to 11,083 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.

| April 2011 | Thunderstorm Wind | Pleasant View | $60,000 | The Ogden Peak sensor recorded a wind gust of 77 mph. Many trees were knocked down near Ogden and Huntsville, with at least two dozen large trees knocked down in the Huntsville area. Several of these trees landed on buildings, with at least one causing moderate damage to a house. Many power lines were also knocked down across the county. |
| December 1995 | Tornado (F0) | Pleasant View | $7,500 | As a cold front pushed through northern Utah, a tornado is thought to have moved through Pleasant View. Witnesses described a freight train sound, and the damage was in a hit or miss fashion. Damage included a 12 to 18-inch diameter tree that was snapped (not uprooted), shingles blown off of several roofs, windows and doors damaged on two homes under construction, three large pine trees nearly uprooted, and a destroyed metal shed. The width of the tornado was unknown. |
