My god why can't they include a basic list of state populations. In the press conference, they're referring reporters to the public information office to dig those up. There should be an online list by now.

Tables are here: https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2...ment-data.html

Quick summary:

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict on Twitter

New York had the first <2 seat loss and Florida the first <2 seat gain, both since 1940.

It should actually be "Habemus censum." Accusative case.

Sorry, I took Latin in high school. :P I know, I'm a dork!

Woohoo! More people! Plenty of room still!

the inland west / inland northwest gaining a head of steam as id predict.

I'm poring through the numbers. New York's population is 864,473 higher than projected by the 2020 Estimates. Holy crap!!

Illinois only lost 18k people. It’s not great the state lost population but that’s way better than the 200k loss that was estimated. No big surprises on seat changes but the population numbers are interesting.

City or state?

after several decades of flirting with it, Michigan finally busts through the 10M threshold.

They’re referring to state, I believe. I don’t think city-level population data has been released yet.

Speaking of Indiana, they had some impressive growth (~300k). I’m excited to see city-level data.

California gained over 2.3 million people. Yikes!

true - but i get the sense that indiana is just leeching from the midwest - and specifically adjacent states.

Notice where the estimates were worst and best in recent years? The annual estimates have always been highly politicized relative to the decennial counts. CA, NY, NJ, CT, IL, MA all drastically undercounted in recent annual estimates. Wonder why? NY & NJ were actually absurdly undercounted.

NY State would have lost no seats if the count were 89 higher. Literally 89 people away from an additional seat. That's pretty good, considering NY State lost two seats every decade since WW2.

LOOK AT THIS!!

New York was just 89 people short from keeping its 27th Congressional District!

Am I reading this correctly?

A huge amount of power shifted for the next decade and goes to show the importance of having everyone be counted in the decennial Census.

TX and FL seem to be growing quite a bit.

looks like the CB massively underestimated the northeast and great lakes.

overestimated the southeast and southwest

got close enough for the west coast and great plains.

and pretty much nailed the mountain west.
