Population over time

2 figures

Hudson fell from 458 to 431 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.

February 2017FloodHudson$100,000Chinook winds caused rapid snow melt in the Lander Foothills that brought rapid snow melt. The warm temperatures caused rapid snow melt that rapidly increased river levels. In addition, the frozen Little Popo Agie and Popo Agie rivers broke up rapidly and ice jams caused flooding of the flood prone areas in Lyons Valley. Many homes in the flood prone north and west sides of towns along with surrounding low lying areas were flooded. Many of the side roads in the aforementioned areas of Hudson also saw flooding and minor wash outs.
