Rapid growth from 2000 to 2010 has given Texas more political power. With the recent release of the 2010 Census, Texas is set to gain four additional seats in Congress in 2012. This marks the seven consecutive decade in which the state has shown a population increase.
The Census is used to shape state legislative seats and allocate the 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. With growth in the South and West averaging about 14 percent, states in those regions are set to gain the most additional representation in Congress.
Texas population numbers:
2000 20,851,820
2010 25,145,561

That's real. I am also working on it from last 3 years. Every time a new census data require a new sheet for collecting all the changes.
