Discussion Thread: 2020 US Census Results Released

Posted: 26 Apr 2021 01:13 PM PDT

Today, the US Commerce Department released the results of the 2020 Census. The results of the census will have an impact on how states redistrict for this decade for their representation in the federal House of Representatives, and the allocation of electoral votes that each state receives when casting votes in the 2024 and 2028 presidential elections.

The United States, as of April 1, 2020, had 331,449,281 residents, an increase of 7.4% from the previous census. The fastest growing region was in the South, which grew at 10.2% (to 126,266,107 residents), while the slowest was the Midwest, which grew at only 3.1% (to 68,985,454 residents). The fastest growing state was Idaho, which grew by 17.3%, while the slowest was West Virginia, which shrank by 3.2% (Puerto Rico, however, shrank by 11.8%).

The following states had their seat allocations for the House of Representatives altered:

State	Gain/Loss
California	-1
Colorado	+1
Florida	+1
Illinois	-1
Michigan	-1
Montana	+1
New York	-1
North Carolina	+1
Ohio	-1
Oregon	+1
Pennsylvania	-1
Texas	+2
West Virginia	-1

Under the 2020 presidential election results, President Joe Biden would have lost 6 electoral votes to former President Donald Trump, for a tally of 300-238. The closest state to missing a cutoff was New York, which narrowly lost a seat to Minnesota by 89 people, the narrowest margin in nearly a century. Other surprises include Rhode Island keeping its second seat, and both Florida and Texas missing the mark for a second and third additional seat respectively.

The results today will only provide allocations for the states. More specific data for redistricting will be provided by the Census later this year so that states can begin the process of redrawing their lines.
