@scarlett_sThe population of the United States rose steadily from 2000 through the projection for 2026. Here are the yearly figures: 2000 to 282200000 2001 to 284900000 2002 to 287600000 2003 to 290300000 2004 to 293000000 2005 to 295800000 2006 to 298600000 2007 to 301600000 2008 to 304400000 2009 to 307000000 2010 to 309300000 2011 to 311600000 2012 to 313900000 2013 to 316100000 2014 to 318300000 2015 to 320600000 2016 to 322900000 2017 to 325100000 2018 to 327200000 2019 to 329500000 2020 to 331400000 2021 to 332000000 2022 to 333300000 2023 to 334900000 2024 to 336700000 2025 to 338400000 2026 to 340100000 Note that this steady growth has been driven by natural increase and immigration. The US remains the third most populous country in the world. Growth slowed slightly post 2020 due to lower birth rates and pandemic effects but continues upward.
