Congressional districts are redrawn every 10 years following the national census. This process is called redistricting, and the U.S. Constitution requires a census every 10 years for the purpose of redistricting Congressional districts.

a decennial (ten-year) census.
New York state has twenty seven congressional districts. Each congressional district has a single representative. After the 2010 census, the districts were redrawn.
yes No, they can't. each state has two senators, regardless of population, and each of them represents the whole state. Therefore, their districts overlap completely.
The California Senate, part of the state legislature, has 40 members, so the state is divided into 40 Senate districts. Every 10 years, the districts are redrawn, based on the results of the U.S. Census, to keep the populations of the districts as nearly equal as possible.
I have redrawn my illustration. Or I have to redraw my act.
Once every 10 years
why are some districts redrawn after a census? Districts are re-drawn for two reasons. The first is if population shifts change the number of Congressional representatives for a state. If the population decreases sufficiently enough relative to other states (which may mean its population has grown, but not as rapidly as other states) or if it increases sufficiently compared to other states, then it may lose or gain one or more representatives in Congress. If that happens the state's area is re-divided into the correct number of districts, with an attempt made to keep the populations of the districts fairly even. But re-districting can be done every 10 years following the Federal census, and often (not always) the legislative body within the state has the power to draw district boundaries. Whatever party is in power may choose to re-draw boundaries to make their position better by increasing the number of "safe" districts (or de-stabilizing the district of a strong opponent). "Gerrymandering" has a very long and "distinguished" history.
Yes, they are redrawn because of the census.
An Illinois legislative district is a designated geographic area represented by a member of the Illinois General Assembly, which includes the Illinois House of Representatives and the Illinois Senate. These districts are drawn to ensure equal representation in the state's legislature, with the House districts typically containing around 108,000 residents and Senate districts covering approximately twice that population. The boundaries of these districts are redrawn every ten years following the census to reflect changes in population and demographics.
