The UNC-Chapel Hill's Carolina Population Center used data from a variety of sources to predict the losers and winners by state in the 2020 apportionment. The pattern that emerges is of a shift in power from the northern USA to the south and west. Using the 2020 population projection data included with Maptitude, we were able to verify these projected trends.
