Composition in two runs: the foreign-born series, census by census

1990–2024 · GRANGER CDP AND HARRIS TOWNSHIP

The race and Hispanic-origin run is strong in the banked fragment; the foreign-born run had two points and this article makes it a series. The instrument changed between points, and the change is flagged at each point. 1990: foreign-born 3.5 percent of the CDP (banked fragment, from the 1990 census). 2000: the long form's sample gives the CDP 1,271 foreign-born of a sample population of 28,225 — 4.5 percent (PHC-2-16, Indiana: 2000, Summary Social, Economic, and Housing Characteristics, Table 2, "Granger CDP, St. Joseph County": sample population 28,225; foreign-born 1,271, or 4.5 percent). The same volume carries the township frame at 2000: Harris Township, 19,896 sample population, 989 foreign-born — 5.0 percent (PHC-2-16, Table 1); the CDP's two parts split, Clay part 546 of 10,283 (5.3 percent) and Harris part 725 of 17,942 (4.0 percent). The 2000 point therefore settles in-file GAP-POP-5 — PHC-2-16 was its named settler, and the volume's Table 2 line for the CDP and Table 1 line for Harris Township are printed above. 2010: no decennial long form collected nativity in 2010; the point belongs to the 2010 ACS five-year file, and this history could not extract a CDP-level foreign-born figure from the open ACS files reached — it stands as a named sub-gap, settler: the 2010 ACS five-year DP02 (Social Characteristics) / table B05003, Granger CDP, via IPUMS NHGIS. 2020–2024 ACS: foreign-born 8.0 percent (banked fragment, 2020–2024 ACS five-year estimates). The run therefore reads 3.5 percent (1990) → 4.5 percent (2000) → 8.0 percent (2020–2024 ACS), with the 2010 ACS point missing and named, and the townships carried beside the CDP at the 2000 point only — NHGIS township nativity tables for the pre-1990 censuses were not extracted and are not claimed. The census that changed the question is flagged: 2010 was the first census in which nativity moved from the decennial long form to the ACS, which is why the series' 2010 point is an ACS estimate rather than a count.
