Word Population Clock
The U.S. Census Bureau takes into account a revised series of population estimates at the end of each year to update short-term projections for the Population Clock. After completing the updating of monthly estimates, daily population clock values are obtained by interpolation. “Within each calendar month, daily numerical population change is assumed to be constant, subject to negligible differences caused by rounding,” the statement said. There will be one birth every 9 seconds and one death every 9.4 seconds in the United States next month, according to Census Bureau data. Meanwhile, due to international migration, the country’s population is expected to add one person every 23.2 seconds.
