**District 8** is one of the thirteen districts of Panem in the Hunger Games Universe. Its main industry is textile production, having many factories for different products.

## Areas and places

District 8 consists of four main regions: the Tenements, the Old area, Factory plaza, and the Victors' Village.

### The Tenements

The Tenements is the part where almost all of the citizens of District 8 live, therefore it is partly overcrowded with families sharing floors within rooms. It consists of many tenement and apartment-like complexes both new and old, mainly some run-down.

### The Old Area

The Old area was once apart of the Tenement region of District 8 where citizens used to live in, although it was destroyed due to bombs during the Dark Days. Nobody resides there and it acts like a ghost town to which most citizens aren't often caught wandering the demolished buildings.

When Edith Vervain was young, she often explored the run-down buildings and later brought her younger sister, Mavis, to which Mavis brought her own friends. This would be the area where Mavis would meet and exchange with Araceli Filum, daughter of Mayor Filum, clothes and payment by Araceli.

### Factory Plaza

This is considered the most busiest part of District 8 as it holds the factories which produce different textile production. Along with the major factories, there are also the small workplaces like merchant stores and a wide variety of tailors and seamstress shops. There is one factory that is known as the Peacekeeper uniform factory, to which Mrs. Filum, the mayor's wife, is head worker and overseer of the place.

### Victors' Village

The Victors' Village is a small area where the victors of previous Hunger Games dwell. Here, there are luxury houses as oppose to the usual tenement buildings the rest of District 8 lives in. Before the 60th Hunger Games, there was a lack of victors in District 8 and Woof Casino was the only person who resided for 41 years. After the 74th Hunger Games, there were four victors in total that lived in the Victors' Village.

### The Justice Building

The Justice Building was used for formal administrative tasks, including marriage registrations. Tributes would bid goodbye to their loved ones within the building.

## Escorts

The last escort for District 8 was Nelle Sequor, who lasted for fifteen years in the same district, more than most escorts. Nelle was offered twice the position to move up to a better district, although she rejected the offer, seeming as she had grown to have affection for the current victors of District 8.
