2020 Census Apportionment Population of the 50 states Puerto Rico population District of Columbia apportionment population = 335,085,841

The Cubed Root of 335,085,841 = 694.574271989174858.

Based on the math FairVote did for the 2010 Census, we round that up to 695.

FairVote also does another step after Cube-Rooting the Apportionment Population. It then subtracts the number of Senators from the result (since the senators are also representing the people of their states). Under this system, we would then subtract 104 from the 695 (representing the total 104 senators of the 50 states D.C. Puerto Rico) which would give us 591 House Members under FairVote's Cubed Root method.
