Steff Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?Stor...12-111730-4108r U.S. population to hit 300M on Tuesday WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- The population of the United States will hit the 300-million mark at about 7:46 a.m. EDT Tuesday, the U.S. Census Bureau said. The milestone has been watched for some time but Thursday the bureau established when it will be achieved. The Census Bureau reached the 300-million figure by calculating there is one birth in the country every 7 seconds, 1 death every 13 seconds and 1 addition to the United States through immigration every 31 seconds. That means the U.S. population increases by 1 person every 11 seconds. The U.S. population hit 100 million in 1915 and 200 million in 1967. The country's first census -- in 1790 -- set the number of residents at 3,929,214. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
