The problem is that states may receive under (or over) representation in the House of Representatives. Reapportionment is done every ten years, after each census. Based on these results (namely rate of population growth), a state either receives more seats in the House, or loses a certain amount of seats.
Also, I think federal money is distributed based on population.
