The United States population is set to surpass 400 million by the year 2060 – mostly because of immigration, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates.

A new report by the Census Bureau projects that by 2058, the U.S. population will reach 400 million people, and by 2060, the population will level out at 404 million people.
