Each member of the House represents about 710,000 people. The number can vary greatly among states, but must be relatively consistent within any given state. Because of the minimum of 1 representative per state, the fixed total number of 435 means that several states have a total population near the average. The most constituents for a single district is seen in Montana, whose single representative has about 944,000 constituents. The smallest number of constituents is the one representative in Wyoming, with only 515,000 constituents. *The approximate representation within each state is shown at the related chart link below.
