FROM THE PL 94-171 FILES, CELL-LEVEL, THREE CENSUSES
The redistricting files, parsed directly, give the town's composition in the census's own categories. In 2020 the town's 2,096 people were: White alone 1,899 (90.6 percent); two or more races 121; some other race alone 34; Black alone 20; Asian alone 14; American Indian and Alaska Native alone 8; Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander alone, none. Hispanic or Latino residents of any race numbered 91 (4.3 percent). The township's 2,859: White alone 2,598; two or more 171; Hispanic 116; some other race 41; Black 21; Asian 18; American Indian 10. In 2010 the town's 2,144 were White alone 2,037, Hispanic 108, two or more 32, some other race 46, American Indian 14, Black 9, Asian 6; in 2000 its 2,274 were White alone 2,143, Hispanic 133, some other race 83, two or more 19, Black 11, American Indian 10, Asian 8. Two movements print with their cautions. The Hispanic count has declined in each of the last two censuses (133, 108, 91) even as the county's rose — a small-number series, printed as enumerated. And the two-or-more-races count (19, 32, 121) moves with the 2020 form's redesign and the Bureau's changed coding of write-in answers, which raised multiracial counts across the country independently of any local change; the series prints the enumerations, not a claim about ancestry. Behind the PL era, the printed volumes' composition record for a place of Walkerton's size is thin by design: the nineteenth and early twentieth-century volumes print nativity and parentage for counties and for places of 2,500 or more, a threshold Walkerton never crossed in the print era — so no town-level foreign-born series exists in the volumes, and that absence is a finding about the instruments, not about the town. What composition record the era does leave is the 1875 atlas directory, which prints nativity man by man for the township: a German-born general merchant in the town since 1861, Prussian-born farm families on sections 11 and 12 since 1858, New York and Ohio stock throughout — an immigrant presence carried at directory strength in Neighborhoods, and the modern estimate of the same fact stands in the snapshot article.
