The United States had an official estimated resident population of 334,914,895 on July 1, 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.^[13] This figure includes the 50 states and the Washington, D.C. but excludes the population of five unincorporated U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands) as well as several minor island possessions. The United States is the third most populous country in the world, and the most populous in the Americas and the Western Hemisphere.^[14] The Census Bureau showed a population increase of 0.4% for the twelve-month period ending in July 2022,^[13] below the world average annual rate of 0.9%.^[15] The total fertility rate in the United States estimated for 2022 is 1.665 children per woman,^[3] which is below the replacement fertility rate of approximately 2.1. By several metrics, including racial and ethnic background, religious affiliation, and percentage of rural and urban divide, Illinois is the most representative of the larger demography of the United States.^[16]

The U.S. population almost quadrupled during the 20th century – at a growth rate of about 1.3% a year – from about 76 million in 1900 to 281 million in 2000.^[17] It is estimated to have reached the 200 million mark in 1967, and the 300 million mark on October 17, 2006.^[17][18] Foreign-born immigration caused the U.S. population to continue its rapid increase, with the foreign-born population doubling from almost 20 million in 1990 to over 45 million in 2015,^[19] representing one-third of the population increase.^[20] The U.S. population grew by 1.6 million from 2018 to 2019, with 38% of growth from immigration.^[21] Population growth is fastest among minorities as a whole, and according to the Census Bureau's 2020 estimation, 50% of U.S. children under the age of 18 are members of ethnic minority groups.^[22] As of 2020, white people numbered 235,411,507 or 71% of the population, including people who identified as white in combination with another race. People who identified as white alone (including Hispanic whites) numbered 204,277,273 or 61.6% of the population and Non-Latino whites made up 57.8% of the country's population.^[23]

Latino Americans accounted for 51.1% of the total national population growth between 2010 and 2020.^[24] The Hispanic or Latino population increased from 50.5 million in 2010 to 62.1 million in 2020: a 23% increase and a numerical increase of more than 11.6 million.^[24] Immigrants and their U.S.-born descendants are expected to provide most of the U.S. population gains in the decades ahead.^[25]

Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial group in America, with a growth rate of 35%. However, multi-racial Asian Americans are the fastest growing group in the country, with a growth rate of 55%, reflecting the increase of mixed-race marriages in the United States.^[26][27]

As of 2022^[update], births to White American mothers remain around 50% of the US total, reflecting a decline of 3% compared to 2021.^[28] In the same time period, births to Asian American and Hispanic women increased by 2% and 6%, respectively.^[29]

The 12 month ending general fertility rate increased from 56.6 to 57.0 in 2022 Q1 compared to 2021 Q4.^[30]

Population

On April 1, 2020, the United States had a population of 331,449,281, according to the 2020 United States census.^[31]

Total fertility rate (TFR)

In 1800 the average U.S. woman had 7.04 children;^[38] by the first decade of the 1900s, this number had already decreased to 3.56.^[39] Since the early 1970s the birth rate has been below the replacement rate of 2.1 with 1.72 children per woman in 2018.^[40]

The drop in the U.S. fertility rate from 2.08 per woman in 2007 to 1.76 in 2017 was mostly due to the declining birth rate of Hispanics, teenagers, and young women, although the birth rate for older women rose.^[41]

• 1.664 children born/woman (2021).^[42]

Mother's mean age at first birth

• 27.1 years (2020 est.)^[42]

Dependency ratio

The dependency ratio is the age-population ratio of people who are normally not in the labor force (the dependent population, which includes those aged 0 to 14 and 65 and older) to those who are (the productive part, ages 15 to 64). It is used to gauge the strain on the populace that is productive. The support ratio is the ratio of the working-age population to the elderly population, that is, the reciprocal of the aged dependency ratio.

• Total dependency ratio: 54.03% (2021)^[34] Country comparison to the world*: 110th^[43]
• Child dependency ratio: 28.11% (2021) Country comparison to the world*: 138th
• Aged dependency ratio: 25.92% (2021) Country comparison to the world*: 42nd
• Potential support ratio: 3.86 (2021) Country comparison to the world*: 160th
