District 12
The smallest and poorest district in Panem, District 12 is a coal-mining community of about eight thousand people, split between the merchant class and the Seam, and home to Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark.
District 12 is the smallest and poorest of Panem's districts, and the home of Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games. Its industry is coal mining, and its population of roughly eight thousand is split between a merchant class near the town square and the Seam, the mining quarter where most families live close to hunger. Residents are not permitted to work the mines until they are eighteen, so District 12 tributes arrive at the Capitol with none of the weapons training the wealthier districts give their children, and sponsors rarely back them.
