Another Person Every 12 Seconds
 
Census Bureau Projects Population of 292 Million on Jan. 1, 2004
   
     As America prepares to ring in the New Year, the U.S. Census Bureau today projected the Jan. 1, 2004, population of the United States will be 292,287,454 — up 2,816,586 or 1.0 percent from New Year’s Day 2003.

     In January, the United States is expected to register one birth every 8 seconds and one death every 13 seconds.

     Meanwhile, net international migration is expected to add one person every 25 seconds. The result is an increase in the total population of one person every 12 seconds.
