How many Representatives do the states get in the US House of Representatives?
There can only be 435 members in the House of Representatives. Each state must have at least one representative. These states have only one each: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming. California has the most with 53 representatives. Unlike the Senate, where each state has two Senators, a state's number of representatives is based on the state's population, which is updated every 10 years when the Census is taken. At that time the seats are reapportioned by a mathematical formula called the 'equal proportions method'. Some states lose seats while others gain seats. This won't happen again until 2020.

Congress has regularly increased the size of the House to account for population growth; but Congress fixed the number of voting House members at 435 in 1911. The number was temporarily increased to 437 in 1959 upon the admission of Alaska and Hawaii (seating one representative from each of those states without changing existing apportionment), and returned to 435 four years later, after the reapportionment consequent to the 1960 census.
