USA
On October 17, 2006, the United States population was estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau to be 300,000,000.[124] The U.S. population included an estimated 12 million unauthorized migrants,[125] of whom an estimated 1 million were uncounted by the Census Bureau.[126] The overall growth rate is 0.89%,[1] compared to 0.16% in the European Union.[127] The birth rate of 14.16 per 1,000 is 30% below the world average, while higher than any European country except for Albania and Ireland.[128] In 2006, 1.27 million immigrants were granted legal residence. Mexico has been the leading source of new U.S. residents for over two decades; since 1998, China, India, and the Philippines have been in the top four sending countries every year.[129] The United States is the only industrialized nation in which large population increases are projected.[130]

The United States has a very diverse population—thirty-one ancestry groups have more than a million members.[131] Whites are the largest racial group, with German Americans, Irish Americans, and English Americans constituting three of the country's four largest ancestry groups.[131] African Americans, mostly descendants of former slaves, constitute the nation's largest racial minority and third largest ancestry group.[132][131] Asian Americans are the country's second largest racial minority; the two largest Asian American ancestry groups are Chinese and Filipino.[131] In 2005, the U.S. population included an estimated 4.5 million people with some Native American or Alaskan native ancestry (2.4 million exclusively of such ancestry) and nearly 1 million with some native Hawaiian or Pacific island ancestry (0.4 million exclusively).[132][133]
