Five states that voted for Joe Biden will lose seats in the House when congressional districts are redrawn later this year, Axios' Stef Kight reports.

• Only two Trump-voting states will lose a seat, new census numbers show.

Why it matters: Democrats narrowly control Congress, but Republicans have unified control of the congressional redistricting process in 18 states as opposed to 7 for the Democrats.

• States losing seats: California (for the first time in history), Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
• States gaining seats: Texas, Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon.

The big picture: The newly released data also underscores America's slowed growth and aging population, according to Brookings Institution demographer William Frey.

• Stagnating population growth, in small part due to the pandemic, means the U.S. should take "a serious look at our immigration policy going forward," he said.
• Utah was the fastest-growing state. Three states lost populations, with West Virginia's population declining at the fastest rate.
