What areas of the United States have enough population to form their own district, but are effectively cracked?

And what areas have disproportionate influence despite their small, and declining populations, due to legacy Congressman and careful redistricting?

Some examples:

Category A:

1. Beaumont/Port Arthur - ~600k people, cracked between 2 districts, and represented by 2 members of the Houston suburbs.
Not even 400K.  The people further north wouldn't want to be in a Beaumont dominated district.
