The population determines how many representatives are allocated to each State. There are 435 representatives; as states gain or lose population, as determined by the decennial Census, then the states will gain or lose representatives.
The long-term trend can have huge impacts on politics. For example, Texas has been gaining population as people move away from the New England, so after 2020, Texas will probably have a greater number of representatives than they have now. And Massachusetts and New York will have fewer representatives.
