Pennsylvania is among seven states losing a seat in the U.S. House after the numbers from the 2020 Census were counted. That means Pennsylvania s congressional delegation will drop from 18 to 17 and its share of the Electoral College will be trimmed from 20 to 19. Pennsylvania s population grew by 2.4-percent since 2010, well behind the nationwide 7.4-percent growth rate.
