INDIANAPOLIS - The U.S. Census Bureau says Indiana's population grew about 5% during the past decade to nearly 6.8 million residents, allowing the Hoosier state to hold onto its nine U.S. House seats.

According to Census data released from the 2020 national headcount, Indiana's population grew 4.7% between 2010 and 2020, from about 6.5 million residents in 2010 to 6.8 million in 2020. The latest numbers show a net gain of nearly 302,000 residents.

Indiana lost one seat after the 2000 count, but held onto its nine congressional seats in 2010 and now in 2020.

The 435 seats in the House of Representatives are divided among the states based on population.
