Indian Village is an incorporated town in Clay Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana. In the federal frame it is GNIS feature 2397006, FIPS place code 18-36306 (GEOID 1836306), legal/statistical area description 43 (town), functional status A (active), place class C1 — an incorporated place that is not a primary county division. The 2020 Census gazetteer gives the town 237,898 square metres of land (0.092 square miles) and no water area, and an internal point at 41.714238° N, −86.232189° W — about three miles south of the Indiana–Michigan line, in Section 25, Township 38 North, Range 2 East of the Second Principal Meridian (the survey derivation is carried whole in the land fragment). The current-vintage federal place layer carries the same town at 234,286 square metres of land and no water; the two area figures are a vintage pair, printed side by side's note and never merged. The town's 2020 census population is 118, read from the Census Bureau's PL 94-171 redistricting file — the smallest incorporated population in the county sequence this build covers. A second federal record rides beside the civil one: GNIS also carries "Indian Village" as a populated place (feature 452637, map name South Bend East) distinct from the civil town record — a two-record structure printed as the record carries it, with no sequence inferred from it.

The town is a residential parcel, essentially whole. The 2010 census counts 63 housing units and 60 households in it and zero group-quarters population — no dormitory, institution or barracks stands inside the line. Its street inventory, carried by the state functional-class mapping, is seven small streets — Maplehurst, Elmhurst and Pinehurst streets, Palmer and Lamar streets, Sumpter Street and Welworth Avenue — and the Indiana Toll Road (Interstate 80/90) corridor lies immediately north of the town's north edge. The federal flood-insurance record lists the town as its own jurisdiction (community 180225) with flood zones AE and X — the AE ground is the Juday Creek floodplain the land fragment works. The town has no ZIP code, post office, school, church or business district of its own on any carrier; its town government's own mailing address is a South Bend post office box, carried in the government fragment.
