New York will lose a single House seat over 89 people.
The Empire State’s dwindling delegation in Congress will shrink by just one member based on population data released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Monday, the first time in roughly eight decades that New York has lost fewer than two seats.

An 89-person shortfall meant New York lost one member of its delegation while Minnesota held on to all of its eight seats.
