Reapportionment, which happens every ten years when there is a census, is the apportioning (or proportional division) of congressional seats (435 for the U.S. Congress since 1911) among the 50 states according to their relative population.

Redistricting is the re-drawing of congressional districts within each state, according to the number of seats they were apportioned, again based on the new census data.

Reapportionment causes redistricting. Reapportionment is objective data (though how the Census Bureau counts population does involve some political disputes, specifically dealing with how low-income citizens are fairly counted). Redistricting is the part where all of the political battles happen.

The census plays a critical role in determining reapportionment by providing data on the population of each state. This data is used to allocate the number of seats each state receives in the U.S. House of Representatives, based on their population size. Reapportionment occurs every 10 years following the census to ensure that each state has fair representation in Congress.

Reapportionment occurs every 10 years, following the constitutionally-mandated US census. The last census was in 2000. Reapportionment is done on a state-by-state basis; most states redrew their maps in 2001, while Georgia and Texas (famously) redrew their maps twice, in 2001 and again in 2003 after control of the legislature had switched from the Democrats to the Republicans. The next reapportionment will be after the 2010 census; for most states this means in 2011.

Reapportionment is the transfer of seats in the House of Representatives between states that happens every ten years, after each official census. The purpose is to compensate for relative shifts in the U.S. population over the previous ten years, in an effort to keep the number of people per congressional district as close to equal as possible, despite the variety among state population levels and the absurdly low cap of 435 Representatives imposed by the Reapportionment Act of 1929.
