WASHINGTON — As many as 17 seats in the House will shift following the 1990 Census and blacks and Latinos could pick up between six and 10 of them, a study by the Population Reference Bureau said today.
According to the nonprofit research group’s projections, 17 seats in Congress will shift following the 1990 Census with seven states--California, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas and Arizona--gaining seats, and 11 states--Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas and Montana--likely to lose one or more seats.
