The 1920 census showed the impact of a rapid period of growth for Battle Creek, which added more than 10,000 residents in a decade for a 42% population increase, making it the 12th-largest city in Michigan. The city had become a manufacturing hub, particularly in the health and food industries. Of the 18 Michigan counties, Calhoun County was record...
The city continued to prosper throughout the Roaring '20s, with 26% growth according to the 1930 census. In 1920, Washington Heights — formerly of Bedford Township — turned down annexation to Battle Creek by one vote. Six years later, Battle Creek successfully passed annexation of the area, followed by the Urbandale in 1927. In 1928, an effort to a...
For the first time in its history, Battle Creek experienced population decline. Like so many industrial towns, the Great Depression hit the area hard, with more than 11,000 city residents on relief by 1934. In 1936, Battle Creek tried again to annex the Lakeview area as well as Springfield Place. City voters approved the bid, but township residents...
Battle Creek experienced a war-time boom in its factories, as industrial employment hit 24,133 — three-times greater than in prewar years.

The decade marked the largest period of growth in Calhoun County's hi...

The 1960s marked the first of three straight decades of population decline for Battle Creek. Annexation efforts ramped up, as Springfield and a small piece of Bedford Township were annexed in 1960.

In May of 1982, Kellogg Co. threatened to move its headquarters unless the city of Battle Creek and Battle Creek Township merged. Township voters agreed by a 2-to-1 margin, and city voters a 10-to-1 margin, to incorporate the township into the city in November of 1983, causing the population to jump to 56,339. A year and two days after the vote, Ke...
Local officials felt the 2000 census represented an under-count based on estimates from 1999, which showed Battle Creek's population remained relatively unchanged after a decade. The data did show an aging population, as the median age went up 5.2% to 34.7. Calhoun County was on the plus side of population counts, with 137,985 residents.
A decade of economic hardship only resulted in a minimal population dip. However, it was the third consecutive decennial census showing a loss in population, putting Battle Creek on the fringes of the "urbanized area" designation. The data on the racial and ethnic makeup showed the county to be 79.8% White, 10.7% Black or African American, 0.5% Nat...
