Population of the USA

The USA is one of the biggest English-speaking countries in the world. It is also the third biggest country according to its area and population. Currently, the population of the USA is over 312 million people. It is one of the most diverse places in the world. Many nationalities and races inhabit the USA. Several centuries ago the population of the USA accounted only 3 million inhabitants. However, every year many immigrants move to the USA, so the population rapidly grows. Native American people have come from Indian tribes. The first immigrants who settled down in America were the English and the Dutch. Later on, Hispanic and Asian settlers flocked to the USA in large numbers. The country was even once called a “melting pot”, because of its multinational population. As it is known there are 50 official states in the USA. At the moment, the most populated of all states is California, a state in the western part of the country. Another populous state is situated in the east of the USA, at the Atlantic Coast. It’s the state of New York. Some other fast growing states are Colorado, Arizona and Florida. It is expected that by the year 2050, the population of the USA will reach 420 million. 2) Опрацюйте ще один текст за темою (про етнічний склад) - уважно прочитайте, перекладіть усно, випишіть з тексту нові для вас слова у ваш словник: Population Racial and ethnic groups in the United States (2020 Census) White Americans (76.5%) Black Americans (12.1%) Asian Americans (5.9%) Two or more races (4.1%) Native Americans (0.7%) Some other race (0.5%) Pacific Islander Americans (0.2%) The U.S. Census Bureau reported 331,449,281 residents as of April 1, 2020, making the United States the third most populous nation in the world, after China and India. According to the Bureau's U.S. Population Clock, on January 28, 2021, the U.S. population had a net gain of one person every 100 seconds, or about 864 people per day. In 2018, 52% of Americans age 15 and over were married, 6% were widowed, 10% were divorced, and 32% had never been married. In 2020, the U.S. had a total fertility rate stood at 1.64 children per woman and the world's highest rate (23%) of children living in single-parent households.
