Population over time

2 figures

Kingston fell from 326 to 281 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.

This Green Lake County segment started about 1 mile north of where the Fox River enters Green Lake County, and moved northeast. A survey of this segment was not possible due to swamp conditions along the path. However, ths tornado was seen by people near Princeton in Green . It is assumed that there was minor vegetative damage along this 2nd segment. The average path width in this 2nd segment was estimated at 30 yards. The damage indicator used to rate this segment was: DI 27 (TH), DOD 3, 75-80 mph. This tornado exited Green Lake County over the far northwest corner of Pukaway Lake and re-entered Marquette County and eventually dissipated near Fern Dr. and 22nd Ln at 1824 CST.
