Cradle-to-Career Partnership · all phases

Across the whole programme, your communities are home to — babies, children and young people.

The resident population aged 0–24 across — clusters in — communities. Toggle the phases to build the picture up; tap any place to see it on its own.

Sources & method. Total population by postcode district: Census 2021 (ONS). Age bands use national Census 2021 age shares applied to each district total (placeholder) — every district currently shares the same age shape; the ONS five-year-band dataset (FOI-2025-2628) replaces this with real per-district structure. Headline counts each postcode district once: five districts host two clusters across phases, so the population is deduplicated (this avoids double-counting about 61,000 young people). Figures describe the children and young people growing up in each place, not children the partnership reaches. Note: the cluster labelled "Medway" carries postcode SE9, which is Eltham in south-east London — worth checking.
