∙ 14y agoThe exact figure varies from district to district, but the number is generally aproxomatly 600,000. Sometimes, because of the formula that is used to devide up districts this number can be unequal especially for states with one representative. For example Montana's at large district has over 900,000 people in it, while Wyoming's has less then 500,000. Senators represent their whole state, so that number varies wildly, with the two senators from Califoria representing the largest population, and Wyoming the smallest.

∙ 14y agoIn the United States, each congressperson in the House of Representatives represents one congressional district, which contains roughly 600,000 people. The districts are generated based on the US census, and since the census only takes place once every ten years the actual number of people represented by a member of the lower house can vary. US Senators, of course, represent states, not people, so the question is largely meaningless in their case.
