The U.S. Population Clock hits 300 million in October 2006.

The U.S. and World Population Clock presents the United States Census Bureau's continuously active approximations of both the population of the United States and the world's total population. The population totals are based on the latest census information and national population estimates, which are used in the algorithms that run the two clocks.

Contents

As of 1 January 2024, the population of the United States is approximately 335,892,610 people, and the World population is 8,019,846,000.

Calculation

The calculation used to estimate the approximate timely population is;

one birth per time TW
- one death per time TX
+ one international immigrant per time TY
= overall increase (one person per time TZ).

Example

One birth every 1 minute and 56 seconds
- One death every 3 minutes and 59 seconds
+ One international migrant every 3 minutes and 11 seconds
= One person every 1 minute and 8 seconds

According to the United Nations, Ukraine has a population of 36,744,636 as of 2023. In July 2023, Reuters reported that due to the refugee outpouring into Western Europe, the population of Kyiv-controlled areas may have decreased to as low as 28 million. This is a steep decline from 2020, when it had a population of almost 44 million people. This is in large part due to the ongoing Ukrainian refugee crisis and loss of territory caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The most recent census of a post-Soviet Ukraine occurred over 20 years ago, in 2001. Thus, much of the information presented here could be inaccurate and/or outdated.
