Around 500,000, even half a million is a lot of people to represent in the lower house, but the country's so big. When it goes into the 700,000s I think it's getting too high.
I would expand the House to probably 501 seats if I could make a decision about it. 501 seats would have more than 600,000 people in each district though. (Total population of USA = 331.9 m in 2021)
I think DC needs a fully voting seat, and I'd give one each to the territories too. The rest would be allocated based on population, and who lost out on seats in the 2020 census.
It'll probably stay at 435 for a very very long time though.
