2011 Apportionment Plan

edit

District 4, as dictated by the 2011 Apportionment Plan, was based in central Detroit in Wayne County, also covering the nearby communities of Allen Park, Lincoln Park, and Southgate.[6]

The district was split three ways among Michigan's 12th, 13th, and 14th congressional districts, and overlapped with the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 10th, 13th, and 14th districts of the Michigan House of Representatives.[7] At just over 47 square miles, it was the smallest Senate district in the state.[8]
