The most recent expansion to the House of Representatives was in 1911, when the U.S. population was about 93 million, so a representative had 212,000 constituents. With the current population of 293 million, a representative has 674,000 constituents. To bring this number back to its 1911 value, the House should be expanded to 1370 members.

They'd hafta substantially rebuild the House chamber to pack all that many in there.
