Map Highlights

1. 🍼 London's Little Leaders! The capital city is bustling with more than just business. With 7.22% of its population being infants and young children, London is leading the baby brigade in England! 👶🎡
2. 🌊 South West's Serenity! Perhaps it's the calming coastal vibes or the clotted cream, but the South West region has the lowest percentage of infants and young children at 5.88%. A little more room for the surfers, perhaps? 🏄‍♂️
3. 🍀 Northern Ireland's Nippers! With a whopping 7.27%, Northern Ireland slightly edges out London in the young ones' department. Must be something in that Irish charm! ☘️👼
