Missouri's Congressional Districts
Missouri is currently divided into 8 congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. Due to the 2010 census, Missouri lost a congressional seat in 2013. The biggest impact has been in the 3rd congressional district (which includes portions of St. Louis which had large population losses in the census).
