2000 · 2010 · 2020 censuses
The 2020 census counted five Black or African American residents in North Liberty — five people, three-tenths of one percent of the town's 1,623. The series behind that figure, as the census returns are published: in 2000 the town's Black share was 0.43 percent of 1,402 people, about six residents; in 2010, 0.5 percent of 1,896, about nine or ten. Liberty Township whole counted seven Black residents in 2020 (the citypopulation compilation of the census returns), against a township population of 3,407. No census in the run shows a Black community of institutional size in this township — no generation in which a church, a school cohort or a business row could have formed — and the counts are printed with their arithmetic shown because in this section the number is the evidence: the near-absence is not an impression but a measured, century-consistent fact whose causes sit in the next article.
