‘Surprises’: The US population is growing at an alarming rate in history by 2021 | Coronavirus Plague News

The population in the United States grew at a slower rate in 2021 than at any other year reported, the US Census Bureau reported, pointing to the coronavirus epidemic, economic downturn, and declining migration and births as major factors.

The U.S. population is growing by about 393,000 in 2021, a record low of 0.1 percent, according to a new estimate released by the Census Bureau on Tuesday.

This is the slowest growth since 1900 and slower than it was during the Cold War and World War I, as well as the Great Depression of the 1930’s, says Luke Rogers, branch director. of the Census Bureau.

“The slow growth could be due to the decline in migration, the decline in fertility, and the high mortality rate due to the COVID-19 epidemic,” the office said.

William Frey, senior associate at Brookings Institution in Washington, DC, said the incident “tells us that this. [coronavirus] plague has affected us in many ways, as well as in large numbers. “

Registration data released in September showed US Poverty in 2020 it rose from the low 60s, while millions lost their jobs due to the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus. At the same time, the US has been be diverse while whites are declining.

Population is based on birth rates, deaths and migration to the US. The population has increased trending lower in the US since 2016 due to reduced fertility and migration, as well as increased mortality among the elderly.

A new Census Bureau estimate shows that births outnumbered the death toll by just 148,000, a very low spread over the past 80 years, according to censuses.

To date, the US has recorded the highest number of coronavirus deaths worldwide, with more than 800,000 deaths so far, according to a study by Johns Hopkins University.

At the same time, migration to the US for about 245,000 immigrants was less than in previous years, and continues to decline.

University of New Hampshire analyst Kenneth Johnson said the slowdown in US growth was “surprising”.

“Obviously, most of this is COVID, but not all of it,” Johnson told the Associated Press. “The natural population in the US was much lower before COVID when the risk of fertility decreases each year and mortality rises sharply due to old age,” he said.

As of April 1, 2020, the country’s population has grown from 331.4 million to 331.8 million, according to the agency.

Although population growth is declining, some areas in the US have seen a significant increase in population while others have declined, largely due to their migration.

Between 2020 and 2021, 33 countries saw an increase in population, while 17 countries and Washington, DC, the capital of the country, lacked population.

The mountainous regions of the western US have seen a significant annual increase, with Idaho growing by about 3 percent, and Utah and Montana each seeing a population growth of 1.7 percent.

Washington, DC, lost 2.9 percent of the population, while New York lost 1.6 percent and Illinois lost 1.6 percent.
