 New figures from the US Census Bureau show Minnesota's population continues to grow, but the state demographer warns Minnesota could lose a congressional seat after the 2020 census. Minnesota's population grew by 43,000 people between 2017 and 2018, putting the state's population over 5.6 million. It's the second straight year state-to-state migration has meant a net gain of residents to Minnesota, but state demographer Susan Brower says that other regions are growing faster than the Midwest and that Minnesota could lose a congressional seat. The 2020 census will determine the number of Minnesota seats in the US House.
