The New York Times reported that the Census Bureau delivered the 2020 data to President Joe Biden on Monday, April 26.

According to the Census Bureau website, the total number of people living in the 50 states plus the District of Columbia is 331,449,281 people – up 7.4% from 2010. Here’s what else you need to know.

  • Seven states will lose congressional seats and six states will gain them.

California, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York will all lose one seat in the House of Representatives. Meanwhile, Montana, Oregon, Colorado, North Carolina and Florida will gain one seat each. Texas will gain two.

The 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are divvied up by dividing the U.S. population by 435, the number of seats in the house, according to The New York Times.

When the 118th Congress convenes in January 2023, the states that grew will gain seats while the states that are shrinking will lose them.

  • California is losing a seat for the first time.

The state still has the largest delegation with 52 seats, but slow population growth compared to the rest of the country means it will lose one for the first time in its history. According to Politico, this is due to housing shortages and exorbitant cost of living.

  • These results would not have changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

After a tumultuous election year, The New York Times anticipated the question that would be on everyone’s mind.

“If the 2020 election was re-run with the new Electoral college numbers, President Biden would have won 303 electoral votes, instead of the 306 he took last November. Mr. Biden won the Electoral College with plenty of votes to spare,” said Weiyi Cai and Reid J. Epstein in their piece “Which States Will Gain or Lose Seats in the Next Congress” for The New York Times.
