The population paradox occurs when two states of the United States of America have populations increasing at different rates and the state with the greater growth rate loses a congressional seat to the state with the lower growth rate.

The paradox arises because of the way apportionment rules deal with rounding methods.

Compare with the Alabama paradox and the New states paradox.
