Because there were 13 districts but then District 13 was 'destroyed' so only 12 are left.
District 12 was Katniss and Peeta's home District and Katniss was the main reason for causing the rebellion. The Capitol destroyed the District, in turn destroying many people that Katniss knew and loved, in hopes to try and break her and prevent the rebellion from becoming too large. It was also a way of the Capitol showing their power. In the Dark Days Rebellion before the Games started, they managed to win the war by bombing District 13, which scared the other Districts into surrender. I assume they thought that blowing up District 12 would have the same effect, but Katniss isn't a push over!
Originally, there were 13 Districts, but the Capitol destroyed District 13 before the 1st Annual Hunger Games. This also means that The Hunger Games are also a reminder of what happened to District 13. The first 12 Districts, however, each have different resources, and still exist. District 1: Luxury Goods for the Capitol District 2: Masonry District 3: Technology District 4: Fishing District 5: Power District 6: Transportation District 7: Lumber District 8: Textiles District 9: Grain District 10: Livestock District 11: Agriculture District 12: Coal mining District 13: (now terminated) Graphite Mining. Secretly working on nuclear power. Districts 1-3 usually were where the Careers were from in the actual Games because their Districts are richer and have more food. These well-fed Tributes also were especially allowed to train for the Games (while people in other Districts risked arrest), in case they were picked; despite the fact it was illegal.
Well, in Catching Fire, she lives in the Victor's Village neighboring Peeta and Haymitch(in District 12). That house is fairly large, including some things that her old house didn't have, like hot water. In Mockingjay, she goes to District 13, because Katniss's district got destroyed by the Capitol. All of District 12 and 13 live in an underground building. Katniss and her family lives in 3 small "compartments", and one compartment in a bunker. Katniss didn't describe much about these homes in the book. I hoped it helped! Sorry if it was a little too descriptive.
District 12 is coal mines and forests on the outside boundary lines
In the first book/movie of the series district 12 is not destroyed.
Yes, in the end of the second Hunger Games "Catching Fire", readers learn that the capitol has bombed district 12, and it was destroyed.

The tone of Mockingjay is somber. Life is harsh and there is not much joy in Katniss' life. Her home, district 12, was destroyed and she is living in district 13 preparing for war with the capital.
Sadly no ): When district 12 was destroyed, the mayor and his family were as well. Hope this helped (:
Katniss Everdeen is from district 12, which is the coal mining district.
Peeta Mellark is from District 12.
All of the people in District 12 are starving.
They were destroyed as an example to other districts.
Very hard. Her home, District 12, has been totally destroyed and she and her family has to live in District 13, which was thought to be uninhabitable. She as well as her allies who detest the Capital along with the people of District 13 live in what you would call an underground home
