Nine states -- Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas and Utah -- stand to gain U.S. representatives in the census. Analysts say Texas could gain as many as four seats.
A dozen other states -- California, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania -- could lose representation. In the 2000 census, Illinois went from 20 House seats to 19.
