Seats in the US House of Representatives are apportioned by population, with more populous states having a greater number of representatives. Each state must have at least one seat regardless of its comparative population, and the remainder are divided among the states, according to the US Census (held every ten years). Because the total number of voting representatives has been "capped" at 435, some states will gain seats only when other states lose seats, based on population changes.
