Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the United States Constitution, each House district must contain a population that is as equal in size as possible to every other district. As of the 2020 Census, the population of the United States was approximately 331 million people, with 435 House districts. Therefore, dividing 331 million by 435 yields an average district population of approximately 760,000 people. However, due to variations in population density and demographic distribution, some districts may have slightly more or fewer people than this average. Option B, 700,000 people, is the closest answer choice to this average, making it the best choice.
