Fact-check: “What is US population”
Verdict: True (92% confidence)
The most recent official U.S. government figure is 341,784,857, the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 estimate for July 1, 2025. Third-party sources using UN demographic models put the 2026 figure higher — ranging from roughly 345 million to 349 million — but these use different methodologies. The Census Bureau figure is the authoritative U.S. government estimate and the most directly documented primary-source number.
