Impact of Latest Population Estimates on 2030 Reapportionment

Share

A new report from Election Data Services, using the latest population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, projects net changes in Congressional reapportionment following the 2030 Census.

“The 2024 population estimates find that nine states would change their number of members if the apportionment were held today using the 2024 estimates. Texas and Florida would each gain two congressional seats while single seat gains would occur in Arizona and Idaho. Single seat losses would occur in Illinois, Minnesota, New York, and Oregon while California would see a loss of two seats today.”
