United States Population

The total United States population is 302,743,671 approximately. According to official estimates it will see an increase in the coming years. The trends in the United States population growth showed that in 2000, the population increased by some 33 million people in just 10 years. It is estimated that if this growth continues at the same rate, then United States population would be 50 % of the present Chinese population. A great factor contributing to the United States population growth is large scale mass immigration. It is gathered from an analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies that during the phase of 1990-2000, up to 70% of the United States population growth was due to immigration. The country has taken proper steps towards checking this growth and responsible citizens are also trying to keep their families small.
