2020 census, with the county series
The town is the smallest of three nested counts, and this section never borrows growth from a larger one. Liberty Township, the civil township that contains the town, counted 3,416 people in 2020 on 42.88 square miles (banked spine) — so the town held just under half the township's people on about one square mile of its forty-three. St. Joseph County counted 272,912 in 2020, the fifth most populous county in Indiana, on the county's own census summary; the town is about six-tenths of one percent of its county. The county's long series — 58,881 in 1900, 103,304 in 1920, 272,912 in 2020 — is a city-driven series, South Bend's and Mishawaka's, and none of it is North Liberty's story: across the same 1900–2020 span the town went from 504 to 1,623 while the county multiplied more than fourfold. The township's own census-by-census series before 2020 was not pulled and stands as a named gap; its settler is the Census Bureau's county-subdivision tables for St. Joseph County, 1850–2010.
