New data from the 2020 Census says West Virginia will lose one seat in Congress after losing about 65,000 residents from 2010-2020. Photo by Paul Sancya
FAIRMONT â Newly-published data from the 2020 U.S. Census shows West Virginia lost nearly 65,000 residents in the previous decade.
John Kilwein, associate professor of political science at West Virginia University, said the result is that the Mountain State will lose a seat in the U.S. Congress, part of a continuing trend and the political fallout from population decline.
âStill, the drop is small, relatively speaking, and the stateâs hard political shift to a dark shade of red since the election of President Obama means that the loss of one House seat will have a negligible impact on West Virginiaâs small role in presidential elections,â Kilwein said.
