Denhoff has a population of around 17 residents (as of 2005). The Post office continues to serve the public. There was a bar on Mainstreet closed in 1992, an elevator closed 1986 and a gas station closed in 1987. The school closed its doors in 1976. The school burned down in 1997. The peak population was reported to be around 327 in 1955. It is said the reason this town is disapearing is due to low prices of grain and cattle and bigger farmers and business taking over.
