Will 300 millionth person be Hispanic?
As of early evening yesterday (Oct. 4), there were 299,903,584 people in the United States, according to an article in the Chicago Tribune .
That estimate, according to the article, is based on a birth every 7 seconds, a death every 13 and a new immigrant arrival every 31 seconds; resulting in one new person every 11 seconds.
The talk now is if that 300,000,000th person will be a Hispanic. Though, we will likely never know.
