Ohio's population rose by 1.6 percent. It is now 11,536,504.
Michigan is the only state to lose population. Texas will gain four seats. Florida gets two more. Washington, Nevada, Utah , Arizona, Georgia and South Carolina each get one more.
New York will also lose two. Michigan, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Missouri, Louisiana, Iowa, New Jersey and Massachusetts will each lose one seat.
The Census Bureau made the announcement Tuesday.

Some think Fudge's district could be moved west and set up a possible showdown between Congressman Dennis Kucinich and Congresswoman Betty Sutton.
Republicans now control 13 of Ohio's 18 seats in Congress. The Republican-controlled state Legislature and Republican Governor-Elect John Kasich will oversee Congressional redistricting.
