Population over time
2 figuresWeyerhaeuser fell from 238 to 232 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2019 | Tornado (EF0) | Weyerhaeuser | $500,000 | A NWS Storm Survey indicated that an EF0 tornado touched down on the west side of Fireside Lake, on Mud Lake Road. This tornado tracked approximately 7.6 miles northeast, before lifting on the east side of the Flambeau River, west of Sheep Camp Road. The tornado was on the ground for 14 minutes with a path width of 100 yards, and a maximum wind speed of 85 mph. Numerous trees were blown down or uprooted along the path. A few trees blew down on lake cabins causing considerable damage. No injuries occurred with this event. |
| May 2017 | Tornado (EF3) | Weyerhaeuser | $420,000 | The long-track tornado continued from Barron County into Rusk County and produced EF3 damage in the Conrath area. It entered Rusk County with an east-northeast track, but shortly thereafter began a gradual turn to the east and barely missed the village of Weyerhaeuser. Soon after passing Weyerhaeuser, it even turned a little toward the east-southeast (this happened at about 45.4063, -91.3583). The tornado then barely missed the village of Conrath. North of Conrath, however, the tornado leveled a house, and this is where the EF3 damage took place. Elsewhere, the tornado destroyed numerous sheds, outbuildings and garages and thousands of trees across the county. The tornado continued into southwestern Price County where it only produced EF0 damage and dissipated at 18:10 CST at 45.3916, -90.4919. |
