District 9

District 9 is one of the thirteen districts of Panem, and its primary industry is grain production.
== Everyday Life ==
District 9 is one of the poorest Districts, with most citizens living in poverty. According to Greta, most of the District works in wheat fields to make money. Most of the tributes in the Hunger Games are malnourished and weak.
Prior to approximately 120 ATT, District 9 was likely much larger; however, a large fire destroyed a large portion of the District, turning it into a desolate wasteland. According to Soren Murdock in Hunger Games: Ultimate Crown, President Snow gave District 9 no aid after the fire.
Another peak into District 9 is provided by Easton Rodgers in Sapphire Tears: The 98th Hunger Games. He narrates one chapter in the District, and reveals that most children in District 9 attend school until the age of twelve, when they move into the wheat fields. However, some wealthier children continue with further education, indicating that the Capitol has provided resources to allow the District to develop somewhat.
