US House of Representatives

Population estimates released Tuesday suggest Montana could have the growth needed to add a second U.S. House seat.

The U.S. Census Bureau’s Vintage 2020 Population Estimate puts Montana’s population at 1,080,577, a total that places the state’s estimated population ahead of Rhode Island’s by about 23,000 people. Rhode Island is the least populated state with two congressional districts.
