ST.CLAIR COUNTY
Quality of Life
St. Clair County is located in the southeastern part of the Lower Peninsula, bordered by Lake Huron on the northeast, the St. Clair River on the east, and Anchor Bay and Lake St. Clair on the south. The county contains 734 square miles and is the 24th largest in the state with a population of approximately 8,500. Farmland occupies about 40 percent of the land, about equally divided between crops and livestock.
