It is in the constitution like this...

The number of representatives is not suppose to exceed one (1) representative for every thirty thousand (30,000) citizens, but every state is to have at least one (1) representative.

So for every 30,000 people whom live in a state there is allotted 1 may be a representative. It adds up some. Hence the need for census.

There is also two (2) senators for every state.

And the number of a states delegates, (sum total of both), is the determining factor in how many votes/persons each states electorial college gets.
