2000s
- 2000The modern composition: the censuses of 2000, 2010 and 2020
The three most recent censuses describe a different city from the one the German-era counts describe: In 2000 the census counted Fort Wayne as 73.09 percent white alone (non-Hispanic), 17.20 percent Black alone, 5.78 percent Hispanic or Latino of any race, 1.53 percent Asian alone and 1.81 percent of two or more races.
Fort Wayne
- 2000Households and income, in dated snapshots
The population divided into households, and what the households earned — three snapshots, each dated, none of them interchangeable: At the 2000 census the city's 205,727 people formed 83,333 households, an average of 2.41 persons per household…
Fort Wayne
- 2000The present field: towers, records, and Project Gateway

Fort Wayne
- 2000BAE Systems and Raytheon · the present primes
Controls, radios, and the aftermarket: BAE Systems' Fort Wayne presence dates, by the company's own account, to the 1980s — the GE aircraft-controls plant of the entry above, which came to BAE through Lockheed Martin in 2000.

- 2000The African/African-American Historical Society Museum

Fort Wayne
- 2000Households and income, in dated snapshots
The population divided into households, and what the households earned — three snapshots, each dated, none of them interchangeable: At the 2000 census the city's 107,789 people formed 42,908 households and 25,959 families; the median household income, measured on 1999 earnings, was $32,439, and per capita income $17,121.

South Bend
- 2000The numbers: enplanements, peaks, and the 2025 record
The federal passenger series tells the airport's modern story in one column: Boardings (enplanements) at South Bend, from the Federal Aviation Administration's passenger boarding data, ran 432,439 in 2000 — the high-water mark of the hub era…
South Bend
- 2000The newest South Benders
The most recent arrivals are documented in outline, and the outline is what is printed: the census and survey series in the population file put the city's foreign-born share at 8.5 percent in the 2020–24 American Community Survey, against 6.4 percent in 2000…
South Bend
- 2000The Civil Rights Heritage Center — a museum in the building it documents

South Bend
- 2000The merger of the two St. Josephs, 2000
"Its similarly named rival in neighboring Mishawaka": In 2000 the two Catholic hospitals of the two cities — Saint Joseph's of South Bend, the Sisters of the Holy Cross founding of 1882, and Saint Joseph Community Hospital of Mishawaka, the Poor Handmaids' founding of 1910…
Mishawaka
- 2000The composition: race and Hispanic origin, census by census
The modern composition is the fastest-moving line in the whole record, and it is printed here exactly as the neighborhoods file carries it, because the two files must never silently differ: Black Mishawaka's anchors are two graduates…
Mishawaka
- 2000The veteran population, dated and under its own instruments
Census 2000: The 2000 census, in its Summary File 3, counted in Mishawaka a civilian population 18 years and over of 35,580, of whom 4,645 were civilian veterans — 13.1 percent .

Mishawaka
- 2000The peak, the plateau, and the boundary warning
The town's largest count, 2,274 in 2000, is also its least comparable — and the record says why. The 1990 comparative table gives the town's land area as 1.5 square miles in the 1990 boundary; the 2020 Gazetteer gives 1.899.
Walkerton
- 2000Composition: race, Hispanic origin, and the foreign-born question
In 2000 the census recorded the town as 97.65 percent white, 0.43 percent Black, 0.21 percent Native American, 0.29 percent Pacific Islander, 0.29 percent some other race and 1.14 percent two or more races, with Hispanic or Latino residents of any race at 0.71 percent.
North Liberty
- 2000Age and households, in dated snapshots only

North Liberty
- 2000The counts: five people in 2020, and the series behind them
The series behind that figure, as the census returns are published: in 2000 the town's Black share was 0.43 percent of 1,402 people, about six residents; in 2010, 0.5 percent of 1,896, about nine or ten.
North Liberty
- 2000The 2000 census's 1,809 — the count that was corrected away
The tabulated claim is 1,809 people in 2000 — a 156 percent jump over 706 in 1990, printed in the reference record's own historical table — against the same record's census text: "there were 645 people (corrected count), 311 households, and 171 families residing in the town."

The season: The 2000–01 Irish finished 34–2 — and the season's shape is told by its three biggest games before the Final Four.
Notre Dame
- 2000–2002The bust: what the crash took here — the other side of the ledger
No flameout has a Mishawaka name: Tribune 's business coverage as indexed, and the bankruptcy and closure record — no Mishawaka-seated internet firm is named as a casualty of the 2000–2002 crash .
Mishawaka
- 2000–2002The pipeline at boundary size; the bust with nothing to take
The bust, carried whole in larger cities' files, is here a one-line account: the crash of 2000–2002 took no named North Liberty firm, there being none in the record to take, and no acquisition-at-the-top case names this town.
North Liberty
- 2000–2003The Pleasureland case, 2000–2003: the inheritance, whole
In 2000 the county's enforcement returned in earnest: undercover officers bought videos at the stores in February, April and October of that year, as Judge Beamer's later ruling recites them, and the buys became the evidence on which search warrants issued.
Osceola
- 2000–2003The adult strip as a civic record: this ground's case is told in Crime, whole
Pointer, not a re-telling: the adult trade's civic record on this ground is one case, and this build tells it whole exactly once — in Crime & Public Safety, "The Pleasureland case, 2000–2003: the inheritance, whole," from the court, prosecutor's and press-of-record record.
Osceola
- 2000–2003Collisions with the public record: the only one on this ground is not a club
The one documented collision on this ground in the category's wider neighbourhood is of a different kind of business, and it is entered here at pointer size because it is the collision a reader of this section will be looking for: the Pleasureland Museum adult bookstore at 56415 Ash Road, south of the town line in…
Osceola
- 2000–2006The GM chapter III: the H1 under General Motors
The marque archive's build table gives the GM-era course year by year: 1,333 built for model year 2000, the strongest year of the vehicle's life after 1995; then 869 in 2001, 704 in 2002, 494 in 2003 (112 of them for the Border Patrol), and 252 in 2004.
Mishawaka
- 2000–2008The Richard years, and the south side's wound
Mayor Graham Richard (2000–2007) governed the stabilized city Helmke left: the agenda was quality-of-place and the long attempt to pull investment back downtown and to the south side.
Fort Wayne
- 2000–2010The 2010 step, and the boundary discipline it demands
Between 2000 and 2010 the town's count jumped from 1,505 to 1,861 — +23.7 percent, the largest single-decade gain since the 1950s — and this section prints the step with its explanation deliberately unassigned.
New Carlisle
- 2000–2020The counts that jump: +35.2 percent, then −14.4 percent, unexplained
The banked spine prints the figures and flags them, offering no explanation because none was found in a reached source: from 1,402 in 2000 to 1,896 in 2010, a rise of 494 people, +35.2 percent, the largest rise in the series after 1880, following a decade of +2.6 percent…
North Liberty
- 2000–2020The boundary question at the jumps
The Census Bureau's Gazetteer area for the town was 0.98 square miles in 2010 and 1.04 square miles in 2020; the 2000 figure carried in the banked spine is 0.75 square miles.
North Liberty
- 2000–2023The other side of the ledger: the bust, and what it took
A winners list without its denominator is advertising: the dot-com era ended in the crash of 2000–2002, which erased the great mass of the period's celebrated companies, and no honest Fort Wayne account can print the wins as if the losses happened to other people.
Fort Wayne
- 2000–2025Three modes at one terminal, and the passenger series
The passenger series is the FAA enplanement record as carried in the field's standard reference table: 2000: 432,439; 2001: 375,817; 2002: 409,319; 2003: 404,607; 2004: 397,565; 2005: 349,847; 2006: 378,909; 2007: 398,500; 2008: 357,168; 2009: 318,974; 2010: 317,096; 2011: 305,386; 2012: 299,592; 2013: 328,992; 2014: 311,158…

- 2000–2026The accounting · the Reparatory Justice Commission and the present record
The Civil Rights Heritage Center , formed at IU South Bend in 2000 , built the African American Landmark Tour, took the oral histories quoted throughout this section, saved the Natatorium and opened in it in 2010, and holds the papers — the Allens', the Streets family's, Hering House's — on which the modern scholarship stands.
South Bend
- 2000–2026The dance schools of the corridor
The Conservatory of Dance stands at 14678 State Road 23, in the corridor's retail row, and its corporate record is the strongest paper any Granger arts body carries: a federal exempt-organization record for the Conservatory of Dance Company Inc, of that address, runs from April 2000, and the present Conservatory of Dance Inc…
Granger
- 2000–2026Black and Latino Culture

- 2001–2026As others saw it: the rankings, and the cigarette train
In August 2001 the South Bend Tribune reported, and the wire of rail-fan boards carried nationwide, the story of the Canadian National engineers who stopped their freight across State Road 23 — "in downtown Granger," the story said — to buy cigarettes and Burger King, backing up traffic while the cashier rang up two cartons of Marlboros.

Bittersweet: The Bittersweet Branch, at 602 Bittersweet Road at the city's eastern edge in Penn Township, is the older of the two standing branches, and the record reached dates it by its own hand rather than by a dedication: the Internet Archive's copies of the Penn High School yearbook of 2001 and Mishawaka High…

What it is: the town's twenty-first-century paper, founded 2002 (LCCN SN2002062421), and the paper of the town's recent memory: it is the New Carlisle News that carried the SARE project's article of September 10, 2010, with Susan Jones named as its editor in the grant report's credits.

Notre Dame
- 2002–2009The GM chapter II: the H2 and its own plant
Production ran from 2002 to January 2009, for model years 2003 through 2009. A boundary line belongs here: from 2004 or 2006 — the accounts differ — the H2 was also assembled under license at Kaliningrad, Russia, by Avtotor, until 2009; the Mishawaka plant was the model's home and its volume source, not its only line.

Lakeville
- 2003Joan Kroc, twice: a 50 million dollar bequest to Notre Dame, and the Kroc Center on the west side
The Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies was established in 1986 with the first of several gifts from her; when she died in October 2003, her bequest of 50 million dollars to the university was its largest gift ever to that date, and the university's announcement put her total giving to Notre Dame at 69.1 million dollars.
