The milestone has been watched for some time but Thursday the bureau established when it will be achieved. The Census Bureau reached the 300-million figure by calculating there is one birth in the country every 7 seconds, 1 death every 13 seconds and 1 addition to the United States through immigration every 31 seconds. That means the U.S. population increases by 1 person every 11 seconds. The U.S. population hit 100 million in 1915 and 200 million in 1967. The country's first census -- in 1790 -- set the number of residents at 3,929,214.
