As we approach the beginning of 2013 you may be wondering… what will the population of the United States be on January 1, 2013. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that the United States population will be 315,091,138 as of January 1, 2013.  This
represents an increase of 2,272,462, or 0.73 percent, from New Year’s Day 2012
and an increase of 6,343,630, or 2.05 percent, since the most recent Census Day
(April 1, 2010).

In January 2013, one birth is
expected to occur every eight seconds in the United States and one death every
12 seconds.
