District 12 is located approximately in the northern Appalachian mountain region in the former Eastern United States. With a population of approximately 8,000, the district is impoverished with many locals forced to hunt for their food, make their own clothes, and live on scraps from the Capitol.
On the basis of statistical evidence, District 12 is most likely located in an area comprising parts of Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. This tristate area is where employment in the coal mining industry and its associated occupations are concentrated.
West Virginia's 12th Senate district is one of 17 districts in the West Virginia Senate. It is currently represented by Republicans Ben Queen and Patrick Martin. All districts in the West Virginia Senate elect two members to staggered four-year terms.
According to the Panem map shown in The Hunger Games Adventures, District 13 is located in the northeast of Panem and North America. Its territory is primarily centered around the Canadian provinces of eastern Ontario and Quebec and the U.S. state of New York.
As a result of Katniss Everdeen's actions at the end of the 75th Hunger Games, the Capitol's air force launched a massive retaliatory bombing raid on District 12. The Peacekeeper forces in the district withdrew, and the power to the citizens' homes was cut.
History of Panem: Origin Story (Hunger Games Explained)
Why is District 12 hated?
District 12 is the smallest, poorest, most over looked District in Panem. Not only are the tributes disliked by the Capitol, but often by the other Districts as well. Due to none of the tributes of 12 having any experience, the tributes in this District often under perform in their Games.
District 11 also seems to be one of the poorer districts; the citizens are not allowed to eat any of the crops- presumably because nearly everything is reserved for the Capitol- and Katniss Everdeen describes the local housing as poor, even compared to the Seam in District 12.
Congressional District 15, CA is currently represented by Kevin Mullin in the U.S. house, and members of the House of Representives are elected to 2-year terms.
In Mockingjay P1, when Coin gathers D13 to announce the tributes full pardon, Katniss observes that there's hardly any children in the district. Prim explains there was an epidemic that killed most of them.
In order to survive, the people of District 13 had developed innovative technologies that allowed them to maximise available resources, as well as a strict, militaristic lifestyle that emphasized frugality and a constant readiness to defend themselves against potential attacks.
Katniss and Gale and other mining families are described as having “straight black hair, olive skin; we even have the same gray eyes.” These traits are typical of the Melungeon, a marginalized mixed-race Appalachian community; recent DNA evidence reveals they were descended from escaped African-American slaves.
District 12 has the most Hunger Games victors, with five winners, including Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, and Lucy Gray. Finnick Odair is the youngest winner in history, winning at just 14 years old.
After Katniss and Peeta won the Hunger Games, they each received a house in Victor's Village. Katniss' mother and Prim immediately moved from their home in the Seam, but Peeta's family stayed at the bakery—so District 12's boy tribute lived alone.
Everything in that part of the district was covered in a layer of coal dust due to the coal mining of the region. Typically, residents of the Seam have dark hair, grey eyes, and an olive complexion. Prim and Mrs. Everdeen always looked out of place in the Seam with their blonde hair and bright blue eyes.
Though her family is now very wealthy and has plenty of food to eat due to her having won the Hunger Games, Katniss still illegally hunts every day in the woods outside of District 12 because she needs to provide food for Gale's family.
Rue is a skilled tree climber, allowing her to escape from the larger tributes. She helps Katniss early on in the Hunger Games, for example by advising her about the tracker jacker nest that she can use to scare away Cato and his alliance, saving Katniss' life.
Ultimately, Dr. Gaul considered these games a disaster, presenting the Capitol as far too vulnerable. She erased all recordings of the games, keeping only a master copy in her own personal vault for her own purposes.
To the knowledge of Panem's citizens, District 13 was completely destroyed by the Capitol during the First Rebellion, and it remained inhabitable during the events of the main series. At least, that's what they were led to believe. As revealed in Catching Fire, District 13 was very much up and running.
Rue, the girl tribute from District 11, is small and reminds Katniss of Prim. Rue is able to hop from tree to tree like a squirrel, a skill that helps her outrun and evade her competition. She tips Katniss off to the tracker jacker nest that saves Katniss' life.
