Children Living at Home, 1996 - Children less than 6 years of age, living at home

This age group represented 24% of all children living at home. The patterns evident on the map show that the highest proportions of this age group were found in the Northwest Territories, Quebec and the northern Prairie Provinces. This distribution is partly attributed to the higher proportion of young common-law families, particularly in Quebec and the Northwest Territories. Children of this age group were also relatively common in the suburbs of major cities. Newfoundland had the lowest overall proportion of this age group.
