What was the closest House of Representatives popular vote total ever?

Question

I am curious about the popular vote for the House of Representatives over time. What was the closest popular vote in terms of percentage points in a House election nationally? For context, the closest popular vote for president was 1880 which was won along with the electoral vote by James Garfield.
