The world's population increased by 75 million in 2023
US population grew by 0.53%

Data released by the US Census Bureau on Thursday said the world's population grew by 75 million people last year. New Year's Day will be in more than 8 billion people. 

The projected world population on January 1, 2024 is 8,019,876,189, with 75,162,541 (0.95%) from New Year's Day 2023. At the beginning of 2024, according to the Census Bureau, 4.3 births and two deaths are expected worldwide every second .

US population growth slows

The US had a growth rate of 0.53%, just over half the worldwide average. It added 1.7 million people and will have a New Year's Day population of 335.8 million people.

The decade with the slowest growth currently followed the Great Depression in the 1930s, at 7.3%.

If the current pace continues into the late 2020s, it could be the slowest decade of growth in US history, at less than 4%, William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, told the AP news agency.

"Certainly growth could pick up a bit as we move away from the pandemic years. But it would still be difficult to get to 7.3%," he said.

Migration prevents US population decline

By early 2024, the United States is expected to experience a birth every nine seconds and a death every 9.5 seconds. But because of immigration, the population will not decline.

Net international migration is expected to add one person to the US population every 28.3 seconds. 

The Census Bureau estimates that the world's population reached 8 billion on September 26, 2023. However, according to United Nations Population Division estimates, this happened on November 15, 2022.

World population growth has slowed since the 1960s. It took 12 and a half years for the global population to go from 7 billion to 8 billion. But the Census Bureau says it will take 14.1 years for it to go from 8 billion to 9 billion and 16.4 years to go from 9 billion to 10 billion, which could happen around 2055./ CNA
