2 figures

Ryan Park fell from 38 to 33 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

1 since 2011

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Ryan Park in 1 storm report in 2011: 1 flash flood. The reports record 4 deaths and 2 injuries. 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.

WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
July 2011Flash FloodRyan Park4 killed, 2 hurtThunderstorms with heavy rain moved across the Snowy Range and Brush Creek area on State Highway 130 between 9 pm and midnight on July 18. Debris carried down Brush Creek by runoff from the heavy rainfall clogged the drainage culvert at milepost 55.8 on State Highway 130, about 13 miles east of the junction with State Highway 230. As a result, water washed away the pavement around the culvert and created a 25-foot wide, 9-foot deep trench in the road just before 1 am on July 19. Four members of a Colorado Springs family died after their van drove into the washout and was swept downstream by the raging creek as they fled flash flooding at a nearby campground shortly after 1 am. The driver of the van managed to escape from the van, which was submerged to its rooftop. Minutes later, the Carbon County emergency manager who responded to the flash flooding, drove his vehicle into the same washout and plunged into the creek. Firefighters rescued both drivers about two hours later, and were transported to a hospital in Rawlins. Both men were treated for their injuries and later released. After floodwaters receded, State Highway 130 between mileposts 36 and 68 was closed for repairs.
