Suburbs Gain as Much as Big Cities in Reapportionment
The nation’s suburbs gained parity with big cities after the Supreme Court ruling on reapportionment. States like Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Washington saw suburban gains in legislative representation. In several states, urban districts still benefited or faced stalemates, while rural majorities persisted in Oregon, Louisiana, and Virginia. The shift raised new urban aid measures and altered state legislatures, with Minnesota illustrating power moving from core counties to a broader metro area.
