(AP) -- Analysts say the economic miseries that caused Michigan's population to stagnate over the past 10 years are likely to erode the state's clout in Congress and its share of federal money.
The U.S. Census Bureau is releasing new population totals on Tuesday from its 2010 census that will determine how U.S. House seats are apportioned for the next decade.
Brookings Institution demographer William Frey says Michigan will likely lose at least one seat, reducing its delegation from 15 members to 14.
The 2000 census put Michigan's population at nearly 9.94 million. It was estimated last year at nearly 9.97 million, an increase of less than 1 percent.
Frey says that if the trend holds up, Michigan would have the lowest growth rate of any state since the previous census.
