This is an excellent interactive map courtesy of the US Census Bureau. It shows population changes state by state between each decennial census starting in 1910. Take note that the 2010 Census data is due on December 21 so come back in a few days to see how your state does in 2010. Also keep in mind that this is just state population data and the full 2010 Census outcome won’t likely be available for several months yet.
Enjoy the map!
If you have any questions about data reporting and mapping please let me know.

As a result of population changes between the 2000 and 2010 censuses, 8 states gained members and 10 states had fewer members in the House of Representatives. The regional patterns of change in congressional representation based on the 2000 and 2010 censuses reflect the Nation’s continuing shift in population from the Northeast and Midwest to the South and West.
The results of the 2010 census determined the number of seats that each state receives in the United States House of Representatives starting with the 2012 elections . Consequently, this affected the number of votes each state has in the Electoral College for the 2012 presidential election .
