US Census officials have completed their once-a-decade count of the American population, showing the second slowest growth in recorded history.
Texas and Florida, two Republican titans of the Sunbelt, will gain congressional seats, while two Democratic giants, California and New York, are losing political influence.
The census shows the US population currently stands at 331,449,281 – an increase of 7.4% over 2010’s count.
The number is the slowest since the 1930s during the Great Depression.
