United States of America in 2047

In 2047, the United States of America is projected to have a population of 378,117,767 people. That would be 3.3% more than in 2037 (366,152,370).

The median age is projected at 42.5 years, with 26.1 children under 15 and 37.1 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.

The bulge of cohorts born between 1946 and 1964 — the post-war baby boom — is the defining feature of the United States pyramid, visible as it moves up the age scale over the decades.
