What is the total number of members in the House of Representatives?

The total number of members in the House of Representatives is 435. This number has been established by law and is based on the population distribution among the states, ensuring proportional representation. The House of Representatives is one chamber of Congress, alongside the Senate, which has 100 members.

The structure of the House is such that larger states with more population have more representatives, while smaller states have at least one representative. This system of apportionment is updated every ten years following the census, but the total number of representatives remains fixed at 435. This figure helps maintain a balance in legislative representation and supports the function of a bicameral legislature in the United States.
