Census numbers

After the big sigh of relief for Minnesota's politics -- the state will keep all 8 congressional seats -- its time to dig into the numbers

The U.S. Census Bureau just finished with the Great Reveal, disclosing the country's and states' population numbers.

The biggest news for Minnesota: It will keep all eight congressional seats.

Beyond that massive chunk of data, the numbers released Tuesday also revealed some other highlights, including the state's size ranking (it's still number 21), its overseas population (10,954) and its growth over the last decade (7.8 percent.)
