Cradle-to-Career Partnership · 2026

Across — communities, this is the resident population aged 0–24 these partnerships serve. Tap a place to see the journey from cradle to career take shape.
Sources & method. Total population by postcode district: Census 2021 (ONS). Age bands shown here use national Census 2021 age shares applied to each district total placeholder — so every district currently shows the same age shape. Loading the ONS commissioned dataset (five-year age bands by postcode, FOI-2025-2628) replaces these with each district's real age structure, at which point the bars differentiate. These figures describe the children and young people growing up in each place; they are not a count of children the partnership reaches. Postcode districts approximate each cluster's footprint; circle positions are indicative district centroids.
