The U.S. Census Bureau revelaed Thursday that due to immigration in 2024, the United States' population growth rose at its fastest pace in 23 years, with its population surpassing 340 million.
This year's growth rate was nearly 1%, the highest since 2001. It marked a major shift from the record-low growth of 0.2% in 2021, which occurred during strict travel restrictions caused by the pandemic, as per the annual population report, AP News reported.
