The latest U.S. Census data shows 5.7 million people call Wisconsin home. That's up 6% over the past decade.
The first results from the 2010 census confirmed that Wisconsin will retain its eight seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Overall, America's population grew by 9.7% to 308,745,538.
That's the lowest increase since the 1940 census count when America was still recovering from the Great Depression.
Broken down by regions, the Northeast grew by 3.2%, the Midwest by 3.9%, the South by 14% and the West by 13.8%.
