United States Census Bureau - Happy New Year 2024!
United States Census Bureau Happy New Year 2024! Excerpt The projected world population on Jan. 1, 2024 is 8,019,876,189, up 75,162,541 (0.95%) from New Year’s Day 2023. During January 2024, 4.3 births and 2.0 deaths are expected worldwide every second. ... When Did the World Population Reach 8 Billion? Using data from the IDB, the Census Bureau estimates the world population hit 8 billion on September 26, 2023. The United Nations Population Division estimates this occurred on November 15, 2022. Either way, population growth has been slowing since the 1960s. While it took 12.5 years for the world to go from 7 billion to 8 billion people, we project it will likely take 14.1 years to go from 8 billion to 9 billion, and 16.4 years to go from 9 billion to 10 billion, which could occur around 2055.
