"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[src]

District 6 is one of the thirteen districts of Panem, whose principal industry is transportation.

History

75th Hunger Games

At the time of the third Quarter Quell, the tributes from Districts 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 11 were all involved in a rebel plan to protect Katniss and break out of the 75th Hunger Games arena.[1] The two District 6 victors reaped for these Games were heavily addicted to morphling,[2] which could potentially imply the district at large has a drug problem.

Second Rebellion

One evening, the Capitol aired a live propo of Peeta Mellark, who was made to recount war damage allegedly perpetrated by rebels. This included a derailed train leaking toxic waste,[3] which could have been linked to District 6 on account of their industry.

Location and geography

According to the map of Panem featured in The Hunger Games Adventures, District 6 is located in the midwest area of North America, primarily centered in the states of Michigan and Wisconsin and the southern part of the Canadian province of Ontario. This ties into its district industry as the Midwest, particularly Michigan, was renowned for its automotive industry during the 20th and 21st century. District 6 borders District 3 (to the south and east), District 9 (to the northwest), and District 13 (to the east).

In The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, District 6 is mentioned as being the third district from the east, after Districts 12 and 8 and before District 11.[10]

Trivia

  • In The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide, it says that the people of District 6 dislike traveling, even though their industry is transportation.
  • District 6 was the 5th - 10th district to pry from Capitol rule.
  • According to the Capitol.PN, District 6 has 52 active hubs with a population of 784,453, making it the largest district in Panem, in terms of population, with almost four times as many citizens as District 2, the second place holder. Due to being the largest district in terms of population, it is also extremely unstable, making Morphling a district-wide problem.
  • According to the Capitol.PN, District 6 claims 68,366 in tesserae, making it the sixth most impoverished district. 
    • If the population is 784,453 and they claim 68,366 tesserae, that would equal to 0.087 tesserae per person, making it the 4th richest District.
  • It is considered a lower middle-class district.
  • According to The Hunger Games Adventures, District 6 would be situated directly north of District 3, which fits more appropriately with what was seen in Catching Fire.
  • In the film, District 6 was the first District to lose both of its tributes in the 74th Hunger Games.
  • The people of District 6 seem to wear darker clothes as shown in Catching Fire during the victory tour. Their choice of clothes also seems to be more form-fitting to the body (People with skin-tight pants and shirts can be seen along with snug jackets).
  • Despite District 6 being the district responsible for transportation, Katniss mentions that District 3 manufactures automobiles.[11]
  • Based on the arena wear for the 74th Hunger Games, the district's color seems to be hello fall orange (#a15431 –    ).[12]
