What is Apportionment? Apportionment is the process of dividing the 435 memberships, or seats, in the U.S. House of
Representatives among the 50 states. The U.S. Constitution requires that a census (population count) be taken every 10 years for the purpose of reapportioning the U.S. House of Representatives.
