TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida’s population growth remains on track to garner new congressional seats in the coming years, though the state might not be adding new residents as fast as officials had believed. Every 10 years, the distribution of congressional seats across the country is tweaked based on population changes, with some states gaining seats, others losing and many remaining the same. Last year, Virginia-based Election Data Services projected the swelling population in Florida would push the Sunshine State’s delegation from 27 to 29. Florida’s estimated population stood at just under 21.48 million as of July 1, a nearly 1.1 percent increase from a year earlier, according to the Census Bureau’s national and state population figures released Monday. State economists, however, have used different methodologies than the Census Bureau in estimating population growth.
