US Population Density Map 2020: Insights and Statistics

The United States is one of the most populous countries in the world, with a diverse range of population densities across its states. A recent study provides an indication of age distribution, fertility rates, median ages, and other key statistics that highlight the demographic makeup of the country.

According to the World Population Prospects: 2022 Revision, the total fertility rate (TFR) for the US in 2020 was approximately 1.73 children per woman. This is lower than the replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman needed to maintain a stable population size. The median age of the US population in 2020 was approximately 38.1 years, which means that half of the population was older and half was younger.

The net migration rate for the US in 2020 was -4.3 migrants per thousand population, indicating that there were more emigrants than immigrants. The average annual number of immigrants minus the number of emigrants over the preceding five-year period was approximately 1.08 million.

In terms of yearly change, the total population of the US increased by approximately 0.62% in 2020. This translates to an absolute change of around 1.93 million people over the last year (from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020). The yearly percentage change equivalent assuming homogeneous change in the preceding five-year period was approximately 0.61%.

The United States has a total population of around 331 million people as of July 1, 2020, according to estimates by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division. This represents a significant increase from the population count of around 150 million in 1950.

To better understand the population growth rate of the US over time, we can look at the Yearly Population Growth Rate chart, which plots the annual percentage changes in population registered on July 1 of each year from 1951 to 2023. Alternatively, we can examine the Population of the United States (1950-2023) chart, which shows the total population count as of July 1 of each year from 1950 to 2023.

For those interested in real-time updates on the US population, the United States Population (Live) counter provides a continuously updated estimate of the current population of the United States delivered by Worldometer's RTS algorithm.

Overall, this map provides valuable insights into the demographics and statistics of the United States in 2020. By understanding these trends and statistics, we can better comprehend the social, economic, and environmental implications of population growth and density on our society.
