Minnesota continued to add new residents in 2019, according to the latest estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau. But will it be enough for the state to keep its eight congressional representatives?

Minnesota had an estimated 5.6 million residents in 2019, a 33,000-resident increase from the year before, according to Census figures released Monday. The number also reflects a 336,000-resident increase from the 5.3 million recorded in the 2010 Census count.

The Census figures are watched carefully because they are used to divide up the nation’s congressional seats.

As fast-growing states like Arizona and Texas continue to add population, those in states losing residents or where the growth is slower may lose a representative after the 2020 Census count.

Other states with eight representatives like Wisconsin, Missouri and Maryland have larger populations than Minnesota and are more likely to keep theirs.

Minnesota’s 0.6 percent increase for the year outpaces the national increase of 0.5 percent.

Minnesota also compares well to other Midwestern states, such as Illinois, which lost about 51,200 residents, or about 0.4 percent of its population.

Michigan added nearly 2,800 new residents, a 0.03 percent increase. Indiana added 36,700 residents, a 0.5 percent jump.

Neighboring states’ estimates are:

Iowa at 3.2 million residents gained almost 6,500, an increase of 0.2 percent.

Wisconsin with 5.8 million added nearly 15,000 residents, a 0.3 percent jump.

North Dakota at 762,000 added nearly 4,000, about a 0.5 percent increase.

South Dakota at 885,000 added nearly 6,000 residents, a 0.7 percent jump.

Nationally, the U.S. grew from by almost a half percent, or about 1.5 million people, with the population standing at 328 million in 2019, according to population estimates.
