District One
"District 1 makes the luxury goods that decorate and beautify our great Capitol. Its excellent taste and craftsmanship keep Capitol residents bewigged and bedazzled year-round." ―Description of District 1 from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide District 1 is one of the wealthiest districts of Panem. Its primary industry is manufacturing luxury items for the Capitol and as a result has a generally favourable relationship with it. These luxuries include diamonds and other precious gems, such as emeralds and sapphires. It seems that parents from District 1 name their children after precious items and their attributes, which may be a reflection on their "glamorous" nature. Children in District 1 almost always seem to take pride in competing in the Hunger Games, and are among the group of tributes that band together to pick off the weaker contestants, known as Careers.
District Two
"Our nation would be nothing without District 2's superb stonework. It builds and fortifies our cities and its citizens are known individually for their strength." ―Description from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide
District 2 industry is Masonry. It is one of the wealthiest districts of Panem. It's where most Peacekeepers are trained and weapons are manufactured, but it originally specialized only in mining and stone cutting. Publicly it's presented as the nation's stone quarries, just as District 13 was known for graphite mining. After the first rebellion, District 2 was rewarded with better treatment and living conditions for their citizens because of its loyalty to the Capitol. It is in the Rocky Mountains, near the Capitol itself. The district is made up of many small villages, each one based around a mine. Although they get preferential treatment from the Capitol, the quarry workers suffer as much as any other district, and the district as a whole is not excluded from the annual Hunger Games.
District Three
"Panem is one of the most advanced nations in mankind's history, thanks to the efforts of District 3. Its computers keep us all connected and its electronic gadgets keep us all entertained." ―Description from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide
District 3 is one of the 13 districts in Panem. Its main industry is technology. They specialize in televisions and computers. In Catching Fire during the Victory Tour, Katniss notices that this district, along with District 8 and District 4, shows the most happiness to see her, suggesting that they are one of the more rebellious districts. It is implied in Catching Fire that their citizens lived in abject poverty, as they were one of the first districts to start an uprising. Most of its inhabitants work in factories and are very well adept with engineering.
District Four
"Do you like seafood? Shrimp and crabmeat? Often overlooked, District 4 plays an essential role, bringing us the bounty of the sea. These citizens are adept with nets and tridents, and can swim like fish themselves." ―Description from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide
District 4 is one of the wealthiest districts of Panem. Its industry is fishing, which is useful for tributes in the Games as they have experience in using nets and tridents, making fishhooks from scratch, swimming, and identifying edible sea life. In Catching Fire, Katniss notices during her victory tour that District 4, along with 3 and 8, seemed quite happy to see her, meaning that it is a rebellious district, also how the victors from this district pledged loyalty to the rebellion and Katniss Everdeen. Being one of the wealthiest districts, District 4 tends to produce Career Tributes, who volunteer to participate in the Hunger Games. This is also the case for Districts 1 and 2. These children are raised to win the Games, making them stronger and much more capable of winning than the average tribute. The bread is a salty, fish-shaped loaf, tinted green by seaweed. Their source of income is fishing. Kids are trained for these jobs at a young age, giving them an advantage in the Games.
District Five
"Electric, solar, and nuclear - District 5 harnesses the energy of the earth and the sky in order to power our great nation." ―Description from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide
District 5 is one of the thirteen districts of Panem. Its main industry is power and electricity. Therefore, this district is responsible for generating the power of the entire nation. Some jobs in District 5 include: Powerplant security officer Geologist Equipment manager System analyst Maintenance
District Six
"Our hovercraft, our high-speed trains, and our cargo trains come to us from District 6. Ironically, the citizens here have little love for travel." ―Description from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide
District 6 is one of the 13 districts of Panem. This district's principal industry is transportation. It was heavily bombed by the Capitol's Air Forces during the second rebellion. It is hinted that having a Morphling addiction may have been a district-wide issue because Katniss nicknamed the victors of District 6 "Morphlings" that were addicted to the painkiller. Most victors from this district take this drug to forget what they experienced in their Games.
District Seven
"This beautiful district is lush with trees, from which these citizens supply our lumber and paper. The people of District 7 are hardworking and down-to-earth." ―Description from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide
District 7 is one of the thirteen districts of Panem. It's hinted that it is a poorer district, like districts 10, 11, and 12. District 7 provides lumber for the Capitol, and its people are known to be good with axes. District 7 is apparently covered with large portions of forest and has a dam nearby the district.
District Eight
"From the simple, lovely fabrics of the districts to the brocades favoured in the Capitol, District 8 makes it all." ―Description from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide
District 8 is one of the poorest of the thirteen districts of Panem. Its main industry is making textiles and clothing. They have at least one factory that is primarily used for making Peacekeeper uniforms. Katniss describes District 8 as "an urban place stinking of industrial fumes with no greenery, the people housed in run down tenements, barely a blade of grass in sight."
District Nine
"District 9 is Panem's bread bowl, giving us the fertile harvest we need to keep rising as a nation. Its amber waves of grain are an inspiration to us all." ―Description from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide
District 9 is one of the thirteen districts of Panem. It is responsible for grain. It is mentioned that District 9 has many factories, most likely for grain processing.
District Ten
"The gentle lowing of cattle is the first thing a visitor to District 10 hears. This region raises strong, healthy livestock, which becomes the meat that helps us raise strong, healthy children of Panem." ―Description from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide
District 10 is one of the poorer of the thirteen districts of Panem. Its main industry is livestock, and provides beef for the Capitol. Since they are in charge of livestock, it can be assumed that the majority of District 10 is farmland.
District Eleven
"Known for its bountiful orchards, District 11's workers spend their days among rustling fruit trees and sizeable farms." ―Description from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide
District 11 is one of the poorer of the thirteen districts of Panem. Their industry is agriculture; orchards, fields of wheat, and cotton surround the district. Almost everything they grow goes to the Capitol, despite their starvation; if any citizen of District 11 is caught eating any of the crops, they are to be whipped in public. Its inhabitants are described as having dark brown skin as described in the physical traits of Rue, Thresh, and Chaff.
District Twelve
"One of the outer districts, this is nonetheless a crucial one. These brave and hardy workers descend deep into the earth each day to mine the coal that keeps our nation running." ―Description from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide
District 12 is the poorest district in the nation of Panem. Located in the Appalachia and with a population of around 8,000 or more people, District 12's main industry is coal mining.
