The world's population is predicted to increase by over 71 million people in 2024, reaching 8.09 billion by New Year's Day 2025, according to recent estimates from the US Census Bureau.

In 2024, a 0.9% growth rate reflects a slight deceleration compared to the increase of 75 million people seen in 2023. Globally, January 2025 is anticipated to see 4.2 births and 2.0 deaths occurring every second.

The United States is projected to witness a population growth of 2.6 million in 2024, with the population hitting 341 million by the start of 2025. With one birth every 9 seconds and one death every 9.4 seconds, international migration will add a person to the US population every 23.2 seconds, netting an overall increase of one person every 21.2 seconds.
