Demographics and population shifts impact the political system because the Census counts people, and this decides how many House seats each state gets. Moving people changes district lines so each district has about the same number of people. Changes in race, age, or communities can affect which candidates or parties win elections, like in Prince George’s County.

The Census is a big count of everyone that happens every 10 years. That count helps decide how many people from each state go to the U.S. House of Representatives. When people move, the number of representatives can change. States also redraw voting areas so each area has about the same number of people. If the kinds of people in a place change — like their age or background — it can change which people or parties win elections. For example, changes in Prince George’s County helped decide which candidates won there.
