Countdown to 300,000

As of this moment - the US population is estimated at 299,993,825 (12:27) - see: U.S. POPClock Projection.

There is a net gain of one person every 11 seconds.

Tomorrow morning is when it turns to 300,000,000 - rather like a car's odometer turning over.

It was 250,000,000 just back in 1991.

200,000,000 in 1968.

150,000,000 in 1950 and

100,000,000 back in 1914.

The future projection for 400,000,000 is app. 2045 - here. Though if we maintained a similar gain - of 50,000,000 over 15 years - it would be more like 1935. Depending on population growth and immigration, disease and whatnot.
