Includes the resident population for the 50 states, as ascertained by the Twenty-Second Decennial Census under Title 13, United States

Code, and counts of overseas U.S. military and federal civilian employees (and their dependents living with them) allocated to their home

state, as reported by the employing federal agencies. The apportionment population excludes the population of the District of Columbia.

Note: As required by the January 1999 U.S. Supreme Court ruling (Department of Commerce v. House of Representatives, 525 U.S. 316, 119

S. Ct. 765 (1999)), the apportionment population counts do not reflect the use of statistical sampling to correct for overcounting or undercounting.
