When there is a reassignment of congressional seats based on population after a census, this is known as <u>Reapportionment</u>.

<h3>What is Reapportionment?
</h3>

Seats in the U.S. House of Representatives per state are based on the population of that state. States with higher populations get more seats.

After every census, a reapportionment process takes place where seats are then apportioned based on the new population proportions of various states and districts.
