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 size in a built-out small town has two ordinary sources: growth on the ground, or a boundary that moved to enclose people already there. The checklist's boundary discipline requires the leg to say which, flag the annexation if there was one, or state the frozen-line effect — and the record read across this build cannot say. So the step prints as a step: real in the count, unexplained in the record, its settler named in the pass's gap list and in the neighborhoods leg's closing synthesis. What may not be printed is either easy story — neither "the town boomed" nor "the town annexed" — and the restraint is the finding: a 356-person question standing open in the middle of the town's best-documented decade, awaiting one book in the town hall and one file at the courthouse.
