U.S. population growth slows

USA Today reports:

An aging Baby Boomer population and slower immigration combined for nearly stagnant U.S. population growth in 2013 as the total number of residents inched up even more slowly than the previous year.

Growth for the 12 months ending July 1 was 0.71% or just under 2.3 million people, according to figures released Monday by the U.S. Census Bureau. In 2012, the U.S. population grew at a 0.75% rate.

Only two states — Maine and West Virginia — lost population. North Dakota, buoyed by an ongoing oil boom, once again proved the fastest-growing state, rising 3.1%, or more than four times the national rate. Close behind: Washington, D.C., which grew 2%, to 646,449.
