As Arizona continues to grow in population, it is becoming increasingly likely that the state will gain an additional seat in the U.S. House by 2030.
Election Data Services uses figures from the U.S. Census Bureau to determine how many U.S. House seats each state is likely to get in the next census.
The company predicts Arizona's population, which currently sits at about 7.4 million, will reach close to 8 million by 2030. This means one U.S. House seat would be added, bringing the state’s total to 10.
If that happens, this would mean another state would have to lose a representative, since the 435 seats is the maximum for the chamber.
Based on the same trends, likely contenders are New York, which could lose three, and California which could lose four.
