2011 Apportionment Plan

District 2 encompasses part of Wayne County.[4]

District 2, as dictated by the 2011 Apportionment Plan, was based in northern Detroit in Wayne County, also covering the nearby communities of Highland Park, Hamtramck, Harper Woods, Grosse Pointe Woods, Grosse Pointe Shores, Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe, and Grosse Pointe Park.[5] It shared a water border with Canada along Lake St. Clair.

The district overlapped with Michigan's 13th and 14th congressional districts, and with the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th districts of the Michigan House of Representatives.[6]
