AN EXCERPT: There will be more than 315 million people in the United States when the calendar flips from 2012 to 2013, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
According to the Bureau’s estimate, the precise U.S. population will be 315,091,138, which is an increase of 2,272,462 people since the 2012 calendar year started. That 0.73 percent increase is in keeping with population growth during 2011, and a marginal uptick over 2010 (0.6 percent growth), but still not on the pace of 2009 (0.9 percent).
The Census bureau also estimates that one new baby will be born in the United States every eight seconds, while one person will die in the country every 12 seconds. So since you started reading this post, we’ve added six and lost four.
