    The figure represents a 0.7% increase from last year, adding 2,250,129 people to the U.S. population since the start of 2011, and a 1.3% increase since Census Day, April 1, 2010.

    The agency estimates that beginning in January, one American will be born every eight seconds and one will die every 12 seconds.

    U.S.-bound immigrants are also expected to add one person every 46 seconds.

    That combination of births, deaths and migration is expected to add a single person to the U.S. population every 17 seconds, the Census Bureau said.
