The U.S. Census Bureau has announced that the U.S. population is projected to hit 341,145,670 at midnight EST on Jan. 1, 2025. This marks an increase of 2.64 million people, or 0.78 percent, from Jan. 1, 2024. It also represents a rise of nearly 9.7 million people (2.93 percent) since the 2020 Census, which was conducted on April 1.
The Census Bureau's "Census Bureau Projects U.S. and World Populations on New Year’s Day" report outlines the factors driving this population growth. In January 2025, the U.S. is expected to see a birth every 9 seconds and a death every 9.4 seconds.
Additionally, net international migration will contribute to the population, with one person moving to the U.S. every 23.2 seconds. When combining these factors, the U.S. population is projected to grow by one person every 21.2 seconds.
On a global scale, the world population is expected to reach 8,092,034,511 on Jan.1, 2025, an increase of 71.18 million people (0.89 percent) compared to the previous year. The global birth rate is expected to be 4.2 births per second, while the death rate is projected at 2.0 deaths per second during January 2025.
As of July 2024, the top 10 most populous countries were India (1,409,128,296); China (1,407,929,929); the United States (336,673,595); Indonesia (281,562,465); Pakistan (252,363,571); Nigeria (236,747,130); Brazil (220,051,512); Bangladesh (168,697,184); Russia (140,820,810); and Mexico (130,739,927).
The Census Bureau’s Population Clock, which provides real-time estimates of population growth, offers a unique look at how rapidly both the U.S. and world populations are increasing. As the world enters 2025, the combined forces of births, deaths, and migration continue to shape the demographic landscape on both national and global levels.
