The U.S. Census Bureau has announced that on April 1, 2020 the U.S. resident population, which includes individuals living in any of the states or Washington DC, was 331,449,281, which marks an increase of 22,703,743 million compared to 2010.

"The reapportioned Congress will be the 118th, which convenes in January 2023," according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
