U.S. Population = 308,745,538

It’s official. The Census Bureau has reported that the U.S. population stands (or stood on April 1) at 308,745,538.

Since I know you’re curious, the prime factors are 2 X 37 X 47 X 88771 = 308,745,538.

We can also use this occasion revisit my idea for the 28th Amendment (otherwise known as the Elfenbein Amendment) which would target the size of the House of Representatives to the pi root of the population.

Based on the new count, this would mean the House would now hold 504 members.
