Population and Demographics
The series in full, 1880–2020 — and the three censuses that are missing
1880–2020
The federal census has counted New Carlisle as a separate place in every enumeration from 1880 to 2020, and the line it draws is the Story of New Carlisle section of this section: 1880, 530; 1890, 607; 1900, 597; 1910, 612; 1920…
The eras read off the numbers
1880–2020
Read as rates between named censuses — arithmetic on the series above, labeled as arithmetic — the town's 140 years fall into five eras, and the causes the record can carry are printed with them and no further. First, the long…
The 2010 step, and the boundary discipline it demands
2000–2010
Between 2000 and 2010 the town's count jumped from 1,505 to 1,861 — +23.7 percent, the largest single-decade gain since the 1950s — and this section prints the step with its explanation deliberately unassigned. A jump of that…
The township frame, as its own series
1890–2020
Beside the town stands its township, and the township has a series of its own — longer in its swings, and ending in a decline the town did not share. The State of Indiana's official township table, republished from the census…
Composition: the modern snapshot, and the historical runs named as a want
2020–2024 estimates; historical runs open
The snapshot is the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 2020–2024 five-year estimates, as profiled by the Missouri Census Data Center, and it is an estimate with an instrument and a vintage, not a count: it puts the town's…
Age, households and income, in the same dated snapshot
2020–2024 estimates
One instrument, one vintage, printed together so no figure borrows another's date: the American Community Survey's 2020–2024 five-year estimates describe a town younger than its state, raising children at a rate its plateaued…
Density and rank, dated; the metro, stated precisely
As of the 2020 census
Density is arithmetic, and this article shows its working, because the town has two areas in the federal frames and the figure changes with the frame used. On the 2020 Gazetteer area of 2.23 square miles, the 2020 count of 1,891…
The forecast record, scored; and the present state of the count
1837–2026
A town's forecasts are part of its population history, and New Carlisle's record opens with an act of persuasion: the extended plat of 1837, lithographed in New York with "a beautiful view of the town overlooking Terre Coupee…
The county's own series, with its two traps flagged
item 4 — the county frame printed separately from the city's, or honestly gapped
The township's series stands whole in the population leg — Olive Township, 1890–2020, from STATS Indiana's official table, read first-hand — and the county's does not: no article of the banked set prints St. Joseph County's…
