Population & Demographics
The town series, of record: 1910, 227 (corroborated by Bowen's 1917 table); 1920, 333; 1930, 522; 1940, 567; 1950, 736; 1960, 757 — the pre-2010 peak; 1970, 712; 1980, 629; 1990, 655; 2000, 567; 2010, 786; 2020, 879 (PL 94-171).…
The banked population article carries the town series whole and works its two anomalies. This addendum reads the series into eras with the rates between the censuses, states the composition at the three points the record actually holds, computes the density, names the metropolitan area exactly, and scores the one forecast the town ever published against the censuses that followed it.
The series read into eras, 1910–2020, with the rates between
The banked decennial series (this history lk-rem-population); intercensal rates computed and labelled as computations
Eleven censuses make five eras, and the eras — not the anomalies — are the town's demographic story: a railroad village that tripled, a mid-century peak, a long slide, a seesaw, and a rebound to the largest count in its record.…
Composition at the points the record holds: 1880, the plan's 2010, the ACS
No census-by-census composition series for Lakeville was ever printed, because the town is too small for the published tables to carry one far — and this article states the three dated points the record does hold, in their three…
Density computed, and the rank stated at the census that carries it
2020 census count (PL 94-171) and the banked 2020 Gazetteer land area; density computed
The density the leg never printed is an arithmetic fact of two banked figures: 879 people on 0.631 square miles of land is 1,393 people per square mile at the 2020 census (computed) — a small town at a streetcar suburb's density…
The metropolitan area, named exactly, and the town's share of it
OMB delineation (Bulletin No. 23-01, as carried) and the 2020 census metro total, read; banked pointer in The Story of Lakeville lk-frame
The frame article's one phrase — "the South Bend–Mishawaka metropolitan area" — expands here to the exact instrument: the South Bend–Mishawaka, IN–MI Metropolitan Statistical Area, as delineated by the U.S. Office of Management…
The forecast, scored: the 2011 plan against the censuses that came
Town of Lakeville 2011 Comprehensive Plan (draft, 27 June 2011), read first-hand, against the banked decennial series
Lakeville has exactly one published forecast of itself, and it can now be scored: the town outgrew its planners — it reached their twenty-year figure's neighbourhood in ten years, and passed their 2020 projection before the ink…
