There are 435 Representatives in the United States House of Representatives. This number was fixed by law by the Apportionment Act of 1911. Before that time, new representatives were added whenever a new State was admitted to the Union.
The number of representatives for each state is required by the Constitution to be proportional to the number of residents of each State. The decennial Census is used to determine how many people live in each State, and to then re-apportion the number of Representatives for each State.
