An estimated 370 million people will live in the United States in 2050, according to national and 50-state population projections recently released by the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at the University of Virginia.

Although the study shows the population will grow, the growth rate will continue to decline.

Looking forward to seeing all of our Hoos back on Grounds very soon!
