Census count show Indiana won’t lose representation in Congress

Indiana broke even and won’t lose any representation in Congress.

The first results from the 2020 Census say Indiana’s population is close to the same as it was in 2010, increasing by about 300,000, and the state, as a result, will keep its nine seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

That could have a lasting impact on the amount of federal money the state receives. That impact remains to be seen, but likely will increase corresponding to the just under 300,000 person increase.

The population in 2010 was about 6,500,000 people. In 2020, it was 6,790,000.
