AS OF NOVEMBER 2026
The count: Granger is a census-designated place of 30,337 people at the 2020 census and an estimated 30,321 in the American Community Survey's 2020–2024 profile — the same place, counted twice, standing on a plateau its Population leg measures whole: the growth decades ended in a stall the housing stock dates independently, only 262 of its 10,869 housing units — 2.4 percent — built in 2010 or later. The survey's profile of the plateau is the suburb complete: a median age of 40.4 years; 28.4 percent under eighteen and 18.1 percent sixty-five or over, the oldest age structure in the place's record; an estimated 10,560 households, 95.3 percent of occupied units owner-occupied; a median owner-occupied home value of $331,100; median household income of $123,318; a bachelor's degree or more in 56.3 percent of residents twenty-five and over; poverty at 4.7 percent; and, of its commuters, 80.0 percent driving alone and 13.3 percent working from home. The next enumeration of the place is the 2030 census; until then the survey vintages are the only official course there is, and this chapter prints the place at their strength.
The frame it stands in: the designated place lies in two townships — Harris, formed January 5, 1836, holding 24,397 people at the 2020 census, and Clay, assembled 1840–42, holding 34,235 — in the northeast corner of St. Joseph County, against the Michigan line and the Elkhart County line. It has no municipal government, and the governments it does have are layered over it by others: two townships, a county, two school corporations, one fire territory, one library district, a postal name older than any of them. The sections that follow take that layered present one layer at a time, as it stands this month.
