Based on the tables, the average number of children per household in Community A is 2.6, while the average number of children per household in Community B is 2.5. Therefore, if both neighborhoods have the same number of households (1,000), Community A would have the most children.
In Community A, with an average of 2.6 children per household, the total number of children living in this community if there are 1,000 households would be 1,000 households * 2.6 children/household = 2,600 children.
