Vital rates refer to how fast vital statistics change in a population (usually measured per 1000 individuals). There are 2 categories within vital rates: crude rates and refined rates . Crude rates measure vital statistics in a general population (overall change in births and deaths per 1000).
The replacement fertility rate is 2.1 births per female for most developed countries (in the United Kingdom, for example), but can be as high as 3.5 in undeveloped countries because of higher mortality rates, especially child mortality. [9]
The Census Bureau showed a population increase of 0.98% for the twelve-month period ending in July 2024, [22] slightly below the world estimated annual growth rate of 1.03%. [23] The total fertility rate (TFR) in 2024 was around 1.84 children per woman, [5] which is below the replacement fertility rate of approximately 2.1.
[2] [3] Total population as of 2024 is about 1.5 billion, [4] with a growth rate of about 100 million every three years.

Demographic statistics are measures of the characteristics of, or changes to, a population. Records of births, deaths, marriages, immigration and emigration and a regular census of population provide information that is key to making sound decisions about national policy.
Population momentum impacts the immediate birth and death rates in the population that determine the natural rate of growth. However, for a population to have an absolute zero amount of natural growth, three things must occur. 1. Fertility rates must level off to the replacement rate (the net reproduction rate should be 1). If the fertility ...
