Every decade, the U.S. Census provides updated population counts that directly impact the allocation of political representation. Following the 2030 Census, the fixed total of 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives will be redistributed among the 50 states through a process known as apportionment. 

Over the last 20 years, Esri has leveraged its Esri Updated Demographics population estimates to forecast congressional seat allocations in anticipation of the decennial U.S. Census. To learn more about Esri Demographics' projections and how they coincide with the upcoming Census, visit this blog by Esri's Chief Demographer @KyleRCassal, @JimHerries, and @AlexHenesy
