Lost/won seats 1

Each U.S. state elects representatives to the United States House of Representatives based on their population. 

In the 2020 election, six states gained Congressional House seats: Texas, North Carolina, Florida, Colorado, Montana, and Oregon. Seven states lost seats: New York, Illinois, California, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan. 

Economist Mark Perry found that there were some interesting differences in the states that lost seats compared to the states which added seats. Click on the chart to magnify.
