(ARMSTRONG & GETTY) – The first results from the 2020 census are in, and they will reshape the 2022 midterm elections. The United States Census Bureau said that the population increased by 7.4% since 2010, growing to a total of 331,449,281.
California was the most populous state with a population of 39,538,223, while Wyoming was the least populous state with just 576,851 residents.
Texas grew the most since 2010, with an increase of 3,999,944 residents. While Texas had the largest increase in people, it was not the fastest-growing state. That title went to Utah, which saw its population jump by 18.4% to a total of 3,271,616.
The Census Bureau also released the results of the apportionment of the 435 congressional seats. Under the current mathematical formula to determine the breakdown on House seats, each member will represent an average of 761,169 people. Based on the 2020 Census data, 13 states will see their number of Congressional representatives change.
