| Description | Six states will see their congressional delegations grow in the next Congress while seven states will each lose a seat, according to the first results from the U.S. Census Bureau’s decennial survey of America’s population.
Texas is set to add two U.S. House seats to its delegation after a decade in which the state added more than 4 million new residents.
Colorado, Florida, North Carolina and Oregon will each add one more seat. Montana will also add a district, its second in total, coming 30 years after it lost that second seat in a previous round of apportionment.
The states losing seats are almost all in the Rust Belt.
Illinois, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania will all lose a single seat, extending losing streaks that date back to the years before and after World War II. Michigan will lose a seat for the fifth consecutive census. |
