Based on the 2010 Census California currently has 53 representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives. The next U.S. Census will be taken in 2020. Based on the results of the 2020 Census, the number of representatives from California could change.

As a consequence of the US Constitution, some low population states have two senators and one House member. This is quite unusual, and normally the reverse is true.
