“New Population Estimates Show Further Changes In Congressional Apportionment”

Election Data Services release:

The Census Bureau’s new population estimates released yesterday (December 22. 2022) would have changed congressional apportionment in eight states from the final 2020 Census apportionment that was adopted just a year ago. The new data shows the states of Arizona, Florida, Idaho and Texas would each gain an additional seat, while the states of California, Illinois, Minnesota and New York would each lose an additional seat above what they lost, or nearly lost when the 2020 official apportionment was released on April 26, 2021.


Arizona and Idaho had just missed gaining a seat with the official apportionment counts last year, instead Arizona was only 79,509 away from that new seat last year and Idaho was 27,579 away. The new population estimates would now provide those states the seats they just missed
last year from the 2020 Census…
