Title: Potential House Apportionment Following the 2010 Census Based on Census Bureau Population Projections
Authors: David C. Huckabee, Government and Finance Division 
Abstract: The Census Bureau's 2005 population projections for the year 2010 raise the possibility of potentially significant changes in the allocation of Representatives among the states. If the projections for the year 2010 presage the actual Census, 10 seats will shift, affecting a total of 15 states. CRS experience with prior Census Bureau population projections suggests, however, they are an imperfect predictor of actual number of Representatives states will be granted after a census.
