U.S. Population Growth Slows as Net Migration Dives

U.S. population grew 1.8 million (0.5%) from July 2024 to July 2025, the slowest pace since the pandemic, driven mainly by a historic drop in net international migration (2.7 million to 1.3 million); births and deaths were relatively stable. Growth slowed across regions and states, with the Midwest the only region where all states gained population and South Carolina the fastest-growing state, while Puerto Rico declined. Net international migration is projected to fall further, to about 321,000 by July 2026.

U.S. population hits 342 million as immigration crackdown slows growth

Census Bureau estimates show the United States reached nearly 342 million in 2025, with overall growth slowing to about 0.5% from roughly 1% in 2024, driven largely by a drop in immigration. Immigration added about 1.3 million people in 2025, down from 2.8 million in 2024. California posted a net population loss, while the South continued to grow and births exceeded deaths by 519,000. The data, covering July 2024–July 2025, reflect early effects of enforcement surges and are being weighed for their broader economic and regional impacts, though officials say the numbers appear credible despite concerns about political interference at some agencies.

Illegal Immigrant Population Declines by 1.6 Million Under Trump

The illegal immigrant population in the U.S. has decreased by 1.6 million under Trump's administration, driven by increased enforcement and deportations, marking a significant reversal from the surge during Biden's years. This decline could lead to economic and social impacts, including reduced workforce in certain sectors and potential population decline in the U.S.

"Concentration of Foreign-Born U.S. Residents in 4 Key States"

A new report from the U.S. Census Bureau reveals that more than half of the foreign-born population in the United States resides in California, Texas, Florida, and New York, with half of them hailing from Latin America. The foreign-born population has grown older and more educated over the past twelve years, with most states experiencing double-digit percentage increases. The report comes amid heightened focus on immigration as a key issue in the 2024 presidential race, with the Biden administration facing challenges in managing an influx of migrants at the Southwest border.

Rising Poverty Rates in 2022: A Setback for Anti-Poverty Efforts

The poverty rate in the United States, particularly among children, increased significantly in 2022 due to the expiration of the enhanced child tax credit introduced during the pandemic. Census Bureau data revealed that 12.4% of children were in poverty last year, the largest jump since 2009. The supplemental poverty rate for all Americans also rose to 12.4%, the first increase since 2010. Median household income decreased by 2.3% from 2021, and the uninsured rate fell slightly. The expiration of pandemic relief programs and tax credits contributed to the increase in child poverty, prompting calls to reinstate the enhanced child tax credit.

"White House Braces for Surge in Poverty Rate"

"White House Braces for Surge in Poverty Rate"

The White House is bracing for a significant increase in the U.S. poverty rate as the pandemic-era child tax credit (CTC) expansion comes to an end. The Census Bureau is set to release its annual report on poverty, income, and health insurance, and the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) expects a sharp rise in the Supplemental Poverty Measure. The expanded CTC, which expired in December 2021, lifted millions of children out of poverty in 2021. Democrats argue that Congress should have extended the credit, while Republicans blame Biden for inflation. Biden's economic plan, "Bidenomics," has yet to gain widespread approval among Americans.
