The South and the West led the way in growth, with the West now more populous than the Midwest for the first time. Michigan actually lost population, down 0.6% as the automotive industry struggled.
The population shift will affect 12 out of the 435 seats apportioned in the House. Florida gets two more seats, and New York and Ohio each will lose two.

10% in a decade. About 30 million. The vast majority of whom are illegal aliens.
I wonder what the U.S. Citizen growth was, compared to the inter-loper-included number?
PA lost one. Maybe they can get rid of PA-13, slap Jenkintown onto PA-2, and make Allyson Schwartz face off against Chaka Fattah. Now THAT would be fun to watch.
Wait, I thought we only had 12 million illegal aliens in this country. Isn’t that the number that has been thrown around for the past 15 or 20 years?
wow.. I had hoped MN would loose one. The talk was taking the 4th and 5th and making one out of them. Both Dem seats.
But we are importing illegals and refuges fast enough to keep our population I guess.
No one seems to want to live under liberal progressives...

It would be nice if my state, CA, loses some seats. Fewer Marxists in congress. At least in Texas the Hispanics there seem much more conservative and TX even elected a few Hispanics Republicans to congress last November.
I just hope it results in more Ron Paul’s rather than Jackson-Lee’s.
YES! Parts of montgomery County Pa are as hopeless as Philadelphia. Make them canabalize a Democrat seat.
Interesting that California did not pick up any seats.
Thank Jesus. Less Greenie/Marxists in Congress.
And Katrina refugees that never left Texas. Probably why Louisiana lost a seat, too.
With American Citizen Women having 2.1 children, exactly the replacement rate, then the 9.7% growth came exclusively from immigrants, the vast majority of whom are illegal and living in the SouthWest.
Way to go Bush / 0bama!
We gained twelve electoral votes relative to 2004/2008, by my count:
+4TX GOP
2FL Swing
AZ GOP
GA GOP
SC GOP
UT GOP
WA Socialist
NV Swing
Net gain in seats 8 GOP minus 1 Socialist = +7 for Americans, ignoring the swing states.
-2NY Socialist
-PA Socialist
-2OH Swing
-MO GOP
-LA GOP
-IA Swing
-IL Socialist
-Michigan Socialist
-Massachusetts Socialist
-NJ Socialist
Net loss in seats 7 Socialist minus 2 GOP = -5 for the other side, ignoring the swing states.
By itself, the 2010 Census thus gives us 12 more seats . . . except that some GOP seats now have more socialist residents so they may be more competitive than before. It’s sad how socialists leave states like NJ, MA, and NY because socialism is failing there, then they vote for socialism in their new home states.
As the illegals move in the producers move out so it is a net 0. Pretty easy to figure out.
I like your bluntly truthful categories!
“Interesting that California did not pick up any seats.”
That is because California is exporting illegal aliens to other states.
“10% in a decade. About 30 million. The vast majority of whom are illegal aliens.”
Unbelieveable and unstainable growth.
Job No. 1 for our country is to cut immigration to a trickle (and YES I’m talking about LEGAL immigrants).
