U.S. population is projected to reach 305,529,237 on New Year's Day, up nearly 1 percent from Jan.1 last year, the U.S. Census Bureau said in new statistics released on Monday.
In January 2009, one birth is expected to occur every eight seconds and one death every 12 seconds.
Immigration is expected to add one person every 36 seconds in January.
Overall, between birth, death and people entering and leaving the country, the U.S. population is expected to increase by one person every 14 seconds in January, according to the report.
At that rate, it will probably take another 33 years before the country adds another 100 million people.
The United States is expected to reach the 400 million mark somewhere between 2038 and 2039, according to the latest Census Bureau population projections.
