Map projecting which states may gain seats, which states will lose seats, and which states will remain the same. (Census Bureau)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Population projections have Florida gaining seats in Congress. New York is projected to lose a seat. Many of the states that are projected to lose seats happen to be “blue” on the electoral map… Based on multiple elections. They also list red states as those that are going to lose seats.<\/p>\n

Flight from blue states. (Reddit)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This supports arguments made here and elsewhere with regards to flight from the blue states. A good example is Virginia. Many of the people that came to work in Washington D.C. opted to live in northern Virginia and commute. Housing wasn’t as economic in D.C. or in Maryland.<\/p>\n

Then there was the migration from New York and other progressive states to the north. In both examples, those that took up residence, to take advantage of better tax and economic conditions, brought their “progressive” views with them. They voted for the politicians from the same party that created the conditions they moved away from.<\/p>\n

From Yahoo:<\/span><\/p>\n

In all, 15 states may be affected by the once-a-decade congressional reapportionment, according to the estimates, which are based on newly available U.S. Census population data and projected forward to 2020. Arizona, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon are each expected to gain a single seat while Florida would gain two and Texas three.<\/p>\n

The loss of a seat in California would be the first since statehood in 1850. It will still be the most populous U.S. state and remain the largest delegation with 52 congressional districts.<\/p>\n

After the 2020 congressional apportionment, Florida is projected to have a larger delegation than New York, with 29 seats compared to New York’s 26. They each now have 27.<\/p>\n

New York peaked at 45 seats after the 1940 census. The Empire State, which was 577,000 more populous than Florida as of the 2010 census, is now more than 2 million people behind the Sunshine State.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are other factors in play that impact change in residence from one state to another. With the current tax policies making it relatively “more expensive” to live in the high tax states than before, we could look at this “blue state to red state” migration to continue.<\/p>\n
