Almond has never reported separately as an unincorporated community on the U.S. Census. However, the 8th beat/precinct of Randolph County, was named "Flat Rock" (the earlier name for Almond) from 1870-1910 and as Almond from 1920-1950. In 1960, the precinct was merged as part of a larger reorganization of counties into the census division of Wadley.
