Major communities
Due to its large geographical area, the 2nd District contains many different communities which operate completely independently from one another socially and economically. Below is a list of the largest statistical areas in the 2nd District tracked by the United States Census Bureau.
Historical district boundaries
Prior to the 2000 United States Census , most of Josephine County was part of the district. After the 2010 United States Census , the district boundaries were changed slightly to move some parts of Grants Pass from the 2nd to the 4th district.[8] [9]
