As of the latest estimates in 2025, the U.S. population is commonly cited around 340–348 million people, with figures varying slightly by source and date. Key points:

  • The U.S. Census Bureau provides the official population clock estimates and updated counts for mid-year benchmarks (e.g., July 1 each year). Recent year-end estimates place the population in the mid-300 millions range.
  • Different sources can show small differences due to methodological updates (births, deaths, net international migration) and the exact reference date.
  • For precision, you might want the exact figure and date from a specific source (e.g., Census Bureau population clock as of a particular day in 2025 or a mid-year estimate from a reputable statistics site).

If you’d like, I can:

  • Pull the latest official mid-year figure from the Census Bureau and provide the exact number and date.
  • Compare recent population estimates from a few reputable sources (Census Bureau, Worldometer, World Population Review) with citations.
