Census Bureau Predicts U.S. Population to Top 315 Million on Jan. 1

Here's an interesting fact to consider as we welcome the new year. In January of 2013, the U.S. Census Bureau is expecting one birth to occur every eight seconds in the United States and one death every 12 seconds.

The U.S. Census Bureau predicts that on Jan. 1, 2013, the total United States population will be 315,091,138.

This is an increase of 2,272,462, or .73 percent from New Year's Day 2012.

The number also reflects a 2.05 percent increase since the most recent Census Day on April 1, 2010.
