If the population of a state is 4,702,644 how many representatives should that state have

1 answer:

3 0

4702644/747000 = 6.29 = 7 representatives should that state have because the US House of Representatives has one voting member for every 747,000 or so Americans.

This is by far the highest population-to-representative ratio among a peer group of industrialized democracies, and the highest it’s been in U.S. history. And with the size of the House capped by law and the country’s population continually growing, the representation ratio likely will only get bigger.

In the century-plus since the number of House seats first reached its current total of 435 (excluding non voting delegates), the representation ratio has more than tripled – from one representative for every 209,447 people in 1910 to one for every 747,184 as of 2017.
