New numbers from the U-S Census Bureau show Minnesota’s population increased by 43,000 people between 2017 and 2018. That could help Minnesota keep its eight U-S House seats, which State Demographer Susan Brower says is good news

On the other hand, Brower says it’s going to be close as other regions are growing faster than the Midwest and Minnesota’s moderate population growth since the last census could put the state at risk of losing a Congressional seat.
