According to historical U.S. CENSUS data: 1) The U.S. population grew by 19,028,086 people between 1940 and 1950 and another 27,766,875 for a total increase of 46,794,961. This of course is total population increase and not births. However, upon further review the Baby Boom actually seems to be a change in the population growth trend rather than an isolated growth spurt/population increase: 1) The U.S. population grew an average of 1.2 million people per year between 1900 (75,994,575 people) and 1930 (122,775,046 people). 2) After the war ended, the U.S. population grew an average of 2.5 million people per year from 1940 (131,669,275 people) to 2000 (282,193,480) The Baby Boom was in fact a doubling of the average U.S. yearly population increase.
