Population over time
2 figuresHudson 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.

Storms near this place
10 since 1998Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Hudson in 10 storm reports between 1998 and 2024: 4 thunderstorm wind, 3 hail, 2 flood, 1 funnel cloud. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| February 2017 | Flood | Hudson | $100,000 | Chinook 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. |
| September 2021 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hudson | - | The wind gusted to 59 mph at Sharpnose RAWS between Lander and Riverton. |
| June 2017 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hudson | - | The Sharpnose RAWS site recorded a thunderstorm wind gust to 61 mph. |
| June 2017 | Flood | Hudson | - | Near Hudson, the Little Pop Agie River rose above flood stage for a few weeks. However, a flood wall that had been constructed in the previous weeks held and only some low lying areas flooded. As a result, there was little or no property damage. |
| June 2014 | Hail | Hudson | - | A COOP observer reported nickel sized hail in Hudson. |
| July 2007 | Funnel Cloud | Hudson | - | Motorists on State Highway 789 and a citizen in Ethete reported a funnel cloud west of the highway between Hudson and Lander. |
