U.S. Population To Have Topped 303 Million on Jan. 1st

January 28, 2008

The U.S. Census Bureau calculates that the nation’s population will be 303.15 million this past New Year’s Day ‘2008′, up 0.9 percent from 2,842,103 registered on Jan. 1, 2007.

In 2008, the population will increase by one person every 13 seconds. That increase will be the result of one birth every 8 seconds and one death every 11 seconds and one immigrant arriving every 30 seconds.

And all these new residents have to live somewhere – a good sign for the housing market, experts predict.
