Leaving aside for a moment the political football that is gerrymandering, here is an updated projection on which states will need new districts. The source:
https://www.electiondataservices.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/NR_Appor18.pdf
States Gaining Districts (7)
Arizona +1 (from 9 to 10)
Colorado +1 (from 7 to 8)
Florida +2 (from 27 to 29)
Montana +1 (from At-large to 2)
North Carolina +1 (from 13 to 14)
Oregon +1 (from 5 to 6)
Texas +3 (from 36 to 39)
States Losing Districts (8 or 10)
Alabama -1 (from 7 to 6)
California -1 or even (from 53 to 52 or no change)
Illinois -1 (from 18 to 17)
Michigan -1 (from 14 to 13)
Minnesota -1 or even (from 8 to 7 or no change)
New York -2 (from 27 to 25)
Ohio -1 (from 16 to 15)
Pennsylvania -1 (from 18 to 17)
Rhode Island -1 (from 2 to 1)
West Virginia -1 (from 3 to 2)
New York's long decline continues, while no income tax states gain big. Applied to the 2016 election results, Trump would gain either 5 or 7 electoral votes.
