2020 Census Apportionment Results Delivered to the President

The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that the 2020 Census shows the resident population of the United States on April 1, 2020, was 331,449,281.

The U.S. resident population represents the total number of people living in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The resident population increased by 22,703,743 or 7.4% from 308,745,538 in 2010.

Some results:

• The most populous state was California (39,538,223); the least populous was Wyoming (576,851).
• The state that gained the most numerically since the 2010 Census was Texas (up 3,999,944 to 29,145,505).
• The fastest-growing state since the 2010 Census was Utah (up 18.4% to 3,271,616).
• Puerto Rico's resident population was 3,285,874, down 11.8% from 3,725,789 in the 2010 Census.

After the 1790 Census, there were 105 House seats, with each Rep representing around 34,000 people. Since then, the number of seats has quadrupled to 435, while the number of people has increased by a factor of around 93. Each Rep now represents 761,169 people on average.

Some states gained House seats, and some lost them, so expect them to be redistricted.

• +2: TX
• +1: CO, FL, MT, NC, OR
• -1: CA, IL, MI, NY, OH, PA, WV

The other states have no changes in number of House seats, though they also may be redistricted because of population shifts.
