On the April 1st of this year, the federal government will be conducting its census. This census is conducted once every ten years and it is done primarily to reapportion seats. For this census, there has been some controversy, regarding a question of citizenship.
The projected population is 333,546,000, an increase of 8.03% from the 2010 census. Overall, Americans seem to be moving west, a trend that has been ongoing since the beginning of American history.
The blue states have the potential to gain at least one seat with Texas and Florida gaining more than one while the red states are in danger of losing at least one seat, New York may end up losing two.
Colorado, North Carolina, and Montana are well set to gain a seat as these states have a greater population than at least one state with one more seat. For the opposite reason, Rhode Island and West Virginia are poised to lose a seat.
