The 6 biggest takeaways from the census reapportionment
CNN
After months of waiting and delay, the US Census Bureau finally released its final count of the country's population and, with it, the states that will gain -- and lose -- congressional seats for the next decade.
The decennial process of reallocating the 435 House districts among the 50 states using population growth (and loss ) -- known as reapportionment -- is the official beginning of each state's redistricting process, in which the lines of each congressional seat are redrawn to deal with the census results. The top line? A half-dozen states will gain at least one new seat in 2022, with Texas the lone state -- see what I did there? -- to gain two districts. Other states -- predominantly in the upper Midwest -- will lose a House seat for the next decade.
