The big factor is who controls redistricting, not what the demographics of the relevant districts are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_congressional_delegations_from_Michigan

look at that delegation.  If Michigan loses a seat it would be hard for Republicans to take it from Democrats without extremely absurd gerrymandering... and even then.

Fake news, lol. The 4 Democrat voter districts are burning infernos full of sloth that basically have the population of 3 districts once we extract the best citizens out.
Gluttony is a sin too, West Virgina.

It is indeed. And so West Virginia is losing a Congressional district. Which, incidentally, is what will happen in Metro Detroit for precisely the same reason.

In 2011, the 9th district (Gary Peters) at the time was dissolved due to mass population loss, and so shall it be again in 2021! Of course at the time, many successful Maker areas, including Peters' hometown of Bloomfield Hills, were put into the new 12th district so that Gary Peters would run there.

Who is a "Maker"? What do they make?

In this context, a Maker might be one of the 53% contribute something to the federal treasury and society at large.

In this state, a lot of them make cars.

Have you ever heard of a "Maker's Fair"?
