Children

The census provides a range of statistics about children including their age, sex, ethnic affliliation(s), birthplace, where they live, and what kind of household they live in.

Other information includes comparisons of children with the rest of the population, and projections about how their proportion of the population is likely to change in the future.

Statistics about children in families include people who live with at least one parent, so children in families can be of any age.
