Michigan would move from 14 seats in the House of Representatives at the U.S. Capitol to 13.
Michigan s slow population growth over the past decade will cost the state a U.S. House seat, continuing a decades-long trend as job-seekers and retirees have fled to other states.
The U.S. Census Bureau listed the state s 2020 apportionment population at 10,084,442, leaving Michigan with 13 congressional seats.
Michigan s population grew for decades, from 7.8 million in 1960 to more than 9.9 million in 2000. It recorded a slight decline in the census 10 years ago, to 9.8 million. Over time, its congressional seats have been peeled off little by little by faster-growing states, mostly in the Sunbelt.

Michigan s slow population growth over the past decade will cost the state a U.S. House seat, continuing a decades-long trend as job-seekers and retirees have fled to other states.
The U.S. Census Bureau listed the state’s 2020 apportionment population at 10,084,442 and increase of about 1.7% over the 2010 figure and leaving Michigan with 13 congressional seats.
Apportionment population also includes overseas military and civilian government employees and their dependents. Michigan s resident population for 2020 how many people physically live in the state was 10,077,331, according to the census.
“While expected, it is disappointing that Michigan will lose a seat in Congress,” said U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, a Democrat from Flint. “Even though Michigan’s population is growing, it is not growing as fast as other states.”

A census is when a government documents information about a particular population.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Michigan will have one less vote for President and one less vote in Congress starting in 2023 after the 2020 Census data has shown the state s population continues to lag.
U.S. Census Bureau on Monday released the first set of numbers used in determining how many congressional seats and Electoral College votes each state receives. Michigan was one of seven states that lost a vote due to population shifts.
Michigan currently has 14 congressional seats but will soon have 13 and lose a vote in Congress. Additionally, Michigan will go from 16 votes in the Electoral College to 15 votes.
