What is the population of the United States in 2023?

The population of the United States in 2023 will be approximately 334 million.

The United States conducts a census every ten years. The 2020 census showed that the population of the United States was 331,449,281 people. According to AFP, compared with the 9.7 population growth rate from 2000 to 2010, the population growth rate from 2010 to 2020 was significantly lower.

Researchers believe that the 2008 financial crisis was an important reason for the decline in U.S. population growth over the past decade. Affected by that crisis, the birth rate in the United States dropped, and many Mexican immigrants returned to their hometowns. In addition, former U.S. President Donald Trump’s drastic tightening of immigration policies also had a considerable impact on U.S. demographic changes.

The composition of the U.S. population

The U.S. population is mainly composed of five major races: European Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and Native Hawaiians. European Americans, including white Europeans who first came to Latin America and then to Spain and other countries, accounted for about 79% of the total population. African Americans accounted for about 13%. The Asian American population exceeded 6% for the first time. Native Americans included Indians and Alaska Natives plus Native Hawaiians are about 1.5.

The U.S. population has more than tripled since the 20th century. It increased from 76 million in 1900 to 281 million in 2000, an annual increase of 1.3. Currently, ethnic minority populations are growing at the fastest rate. According to Census Bureau estimates for 2012, 50.4% of American children younger than one year old belong to a minority.
