What is redstricting?
People move around. When people move, some areas gain population, some areas lose population. Once every 10 years in the United States, the government takes a census, or counts the people.

When the districts are changed so that all the districts become the same size after a census, that is called redistricting.
Why do legislative districts vary so much in size?
Legislative districts vary in size due to the principle of "one person, one vote," which requires equal representation for all residents. In areas with rapidly growing populations, districts may become larger to accommodate the increased number of residents. Additionally, redistricting processes, gerrymandering, and political considerations can also influence the size of legislative districts.
What factors work together to limit competition for seats in congress?
The biggest factor is "gerrymandering", or drawing congressional districts in bizarre shapes to favor one party over another. The term comes from the name Elbridge Gerry who as Governor of Massachusetts drew a congressional district to protect his political power that vaguely resembled the shape of a lizard or salamander. A local newspaper called it a "gerry-mander", and the name has been used ever since. In the modern era, congressional districts are drawn to create safe districts for the political party that controls the re-districting process in the state. This process packs each district with voters of the preferred party, concentrating all of the voters of the opposition party to a smaller number of districts. The average congressional representative is more likely to die in office than to lose his next election.
How many people are in each House of Representatives Congressional district?
Originally each district was to consist of 33,000 people. By 1911 the number of districts had risen to 435 and the House was becoming unwieldy.

As of 2007 each of those 435 Congressional districts has approximately 693,000 people living within it.
