The U.S. population clock will reach a milestone on October 16th, 2006.
"...the U.S. Population Clock is now closing in on a milestone. Sometime around the middle of this month, the U.S. Census Bureau clock will ring in the 300 millionth American...Right now the formula is one birth per seven seconds, one death per 13 seconds and one net increase in immigrants per 30 seconds. With the number of deaths subtracted from the number of births, immigration accounts for about 40% of population growth. The Census Bureau hasn't forecast the day the milestone will occur, but the algorithm points to Oct. 16. And while the who and where are purely speculative, that hasn't stopped academics from theorizing. Demographer William Frey of the Brookings Institution predicts that it will be a Latino boy born in Los Angeles County."
