US Population is still growing...

....but not the way it once was. And it definitely isn't booming like populations in some other countries in the world.

Between 2000 and 2010, the country grew at a rate of 9.7%, which was
lower than any decade since the Great Depression, according to the U.S.
Census Bureau, which is releasing a steady stream of stats about the
nation.

During the 1930s, the country grew at a rate of about 7%. For comparison, the U.S. grew at a rate of about 19% in the 1950s, during the baby boom, and things generally have been slowing down since then.

The U.S. population in 2010 was 308.7 million.
