Census projects population growth

The U.S. Census Bureau has projected the U.S. population will be 335,893,238 at midnight EST, on Jan. 1. This represents an increase of 1,759,535 (0.53%) from January 2023, and 4,443,957 (1.34%) from Census Day on April 1, 2020. 

In January 2024, the United States is expected to experience one birth every 9.0 seconds and one death every 9.5 seconds. The net international migration is expected to add one person to the U.S. population every 28.3 seconds. 

The combination of births, deaths and net international migration increases the U.S. population by one person every 24.2 seconds.  

The projected world population on Jan. 1 is 8,019,876,189, an increase of 75,162,541 (0.95%) from New Year’s Day 2023. During January 2024, 4.3 births and 2.0 deaths are expected worldwide every second.
