Excellent question! The population of the USA is constantly changing, so there are a couple of ways to answer this.

### The Live Estimate

The most up-to-date number comes from the U.S. Census Bureau's Population Clock, which provides a real-time estimate.

As of right now, the estimated population of the United States is **over 336 million**.

You can see the live number and a breakdown of the components here:
**[U.S. Census Bureau Population Clock](https://www.census.gov/popclock/)**

The clock estimates the population based on the following projections:
*   One birth every **9 seconds**
*   One death every **10 seconds**
*   One international migrant (net) every **28 seconds**

This leads to a net gain of one person approximately every **21 seconds**.

### The Official Count

The most recent official and complete count is from the **2020 Census**, which recorded the U.S. population as **331,449,281**.
