To determine which community has the most children, we need the average number of children per household for both communities. However, since the specific numbers are not provided, let's assume the average number of children per household in Community A is 2.6 (which is implied by your response).

If Community A has an average of 2.6 children per household and there are 1,000 households, the total number of children in Community A would be:

\[ 2.6 \text{ children/household} \times 1,000 \text{ households} = 2,600 \text{ children} \]

Therefore, if Community A has the most children, there would be 2,600 children in Community A if there are 1,000 households.

If you have the average number of children per household for Community B, you can compare and verify this.
