Based on data from the United Nations World Population Prospects (2024), an estimated 3,663,798 people are born in the United States each year. That works out to roughly 10,038 births per day, 418 per hour, or approximately one person every 8.61 seconds. The counter above tracks the estimated number of births that have occurred so far today.
The crude birth rate in the United States is approximately 10.6 births per 1,000 people , which is below the global average of 16.1 per 1,000. The total fertility rate stands at 1.62 children per woman. Since this is below the replacement level of 2.1, the population of the United States would decline over the long term without net immigration.
In addition to births, approximately 3,089,996 deaths occur in the United States each year, resulting in a natural increase of approximately 573,802 people per year.
