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 and Budget. Its composition is two counties: St. Joseph County, Indiana, and Cass County, Michigan — a bi-state metro anchored by South Bend and Mishawaka, both in Indiana. Its 2020 census population was 324,501, of which St. Joseph County held 272,912 and Cass County 51,589. Lakeville's share of it, computed from the banked town count: 879 of 324,501, or 0.27 per cent of the metropolitan area (computed) — the metro's southernmost incorporated place on the Michigan Road corridor, counted in a statistical area three hundred and sixty-nine times its size. The larger combination prints at pointer, so the two are never merged: the South Bend–Elkhart–Mishawaka, IN–MI Combined Statistical Area, six counties, 812,199 people at the 2020 census. The town is a metropolitan place by delineation and a rural place by size, and both facts stand in its frame from here on.
