Had Puerto Rico been a state at the time of the last census it would have received 6 Representatives and NC, CA, OH, FL, IA, and GA would have each received one less represebtative as they were the recipients of the six last representatives using the method of equal proportions that the law specifies. The
webpage that best explains this that I have found is not surprisingly on the Census Bureau's
website. The priority number for PR's 6th representative is 695,354 which would make him the 414th Representative assigned. The priority number for the 435th Reprsenative (8th Minnesota) would be 658,220 and the priority number for PR's 7th Representative is 587,681 which while I don't know exactly where on the list it would place him, would be well below a lot of others.
