About the population of the United States

According to the United States Census Bureau, the estimated population of the United States is 350,599,825, growing at an annual rate of 0.54%. That works out to a net change of approximately 5,066 people per day or 211 per hour.

The population change in the United States is driven by three components: approximately 3,663,798 births per year and 3,089,996 deaths per year, plus net migration. Together these components produce the overall growth rate of 0.54% per year.

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.

Population varies widely across the United States. California is the most populous state with approximately 39,431,263 people. District of Columbia is the fastest-growing state at 2.17% per year. See the full breakdown by state in the table below.
