United States of America in 2073

In 2073, the United States of America is projected to have a population of 401,080,532 people. Compared with 2063, when the projection stands at 391,545,618, that represents growth of 2.4% over ten years.

The median age is projected at 44.8 years, with 25.3 children under 15 and 44.8 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.

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.
