The count is 879; the estimates run 874 to 878; the survey says 735; the metro is 324,501 — four instruments, four numbers, each labelled. The count: the 2020 decennial census counted 879 people in Lakeville town (PL 94-171, banked). The estimates: the Census Bureau's annual Estimates Program, as republished in STATS Indiana's table "Population Estimates for Indiana's Incorporated Places, 2020–2024," read directly for the Lakeville town row, gives July 1 estimates of 874 (2020), 874 (2021), 876 (2022), 877 (2023), and 878 (2024), on an April 1, 2020 estimates base of 875 — the program's reference date is July 1 for every year, the Bureau's own documentation stating so. The banked renderings print whole beside the table, unmerged: a third-party rendering's "876" offered as the 2024 figure is this table's 2022 value wearing the wrong year, and the banked article's unexplained "873" stands as a further rendering no table read confirms — the table governs, the variants stand as variants. The survey: the American Community Survey's 2020–2024 five-year estimates were released by the Census Bureau on 29 January 2026 (the Bureau's release page: embargo 27 January, public release 29 January, the date revised from the originally scheduled 11 December 2025) — for Lakeville town (place 16000US1841670), as rendered in the Missouri Census Data Center's ACS profile generated November 2026: population 735; median age 36.2; 345 households; median household income $62,772 (mean $66,610), median family income $69,856, per-capita income $31,928; poverty: 129 persons, 17.6% of those measured (children 11.7%, seniors 22.3%, families 12.3%); housing: 418 units, 345 occupied (82.5%) — 150 owner-occupied (43.5%) against 195 renter-occupied (56.5%) — 73 vacant (17.5%); median home value $136,500; median gross rent $797; white alone 92.9%, Hispanic or Latino 3.1%; bachelor's degree or higher 14.7% of adults; 404 civilians employed, manufacturing the largest single industry at 21.3% — all under the banked caveat that most Lakeville ACS cells carry high margins of error, and that a survey estimate 144 below the count is an instrument difference, not a depopulation. The metro: Lakeville's metropolitan frame is the South Bend–Mishawaka, IN–MI Metropolitan Statistical Area (St. Joseph County, Indiana, with Cass County, Michigan, as the Office of Management and Budget defines it): 324,501 at the 2020 census, and 324,538 at the Bureau's July 1, 2025 estimate as carried in the metropolitan-area record — printed at that carrier's strength, the Bureau's own metro table not separately opened.
