The figure here is refreshed automatically once a day at 00:00 UTC
- at that time it aims to be in agreement with https://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html to the nearest thousand

Figure is rounded to 3 places to reduce false precision, and to reduce chance of output in scientific notation
Rounding that ends in 5 zeroes (even if only rounded to units place) intermittently outputs scientific notation.
- see source code for table below for method to prevent output in scientific notation
