Census to shed light on U.S. House seats
TUPELO – Mississippi will learn today how many residents it gained or lost in the past decade and whether it will retain its four congressional seats.
Official state-by-state population counts from the U.S. Census Bureau’s decennial survey will be released today along with the nation’s congressional apportionment totals.
Apportionment is how the U.S. House of Representatives splits its 435 seats among the 50 states. It’s based not only on each state’s individual population but on the nation’s population density overall. Each district nationwide must be roughly equal in population.
