Exponential growth

The US population has hit 300 million people, just 39 years after it reached 200 million, according to US Census Bureau estimates.

According to the CIA factbook entry for the USA, it has 9,161,923 sq km of land within it's borders so by my calculations the USA has a density of 31 people per sq km or 79 people per sq mile.

Not enough food left for thought soon.
