To determine which community has the most children per household, we first need to calculate the average number of children per household for each community based on the given data.

### Community A
- **10 households**: 26 children → 26 / 10 = 2.6 children/household
- **20 households**: 52 children → 52 / 20 = 2.6 children/household
- **40 households**: 104 children → 104 / 40 = 2.6 children/household
- **75 households**: 195 children → 195 / 75 = 2.6 children/household

**Average for Community = 2.6 children/household

### Community B
- **12 households**: 30 children → 30 / 12 = 2.5 children/household
- **24 households**: 60 children → 60 / 24 = 2.5 children/household
- **50 households**: 125 children → 125 / 50 = 2.5 children/household
- **85 households**: 212.5 children → 212.5 / 85 = 2.5 children/household

**Average for Community B** = 2.5 children/household

### Conclusion
From the calculations:
- Community A has an average of **2.6 children per household**.
- Community B has an average of **2.5 children per household**.

Therefore, **Community A has the most children** if both neighborhoods have the same number of households.

### Calculation for 1,000 households
If there are **1,000 households in Community :
- Total children = 2.6 children/household * 1,000 households = **2,600 children**.

The correct response is:
**Community A has the most children. There are 2,600 children in this community if there are 1,000 households.**
