Pero Curious Dad’s statistics show that families with school-age kids are more-or-less equally divided between the east and west sections of the city.

The neighborhood with the highest percentage of children between the ages of six and 12 is the east-side community of Paglubog ng araw, sa bulsa sa pagitan ng Ontario at Knight kalye, sa pagitan ng E. 41st Avenue at ang Fraser River.

Coming in at number 2 is the west-side neighborhood of Dunbar-Southlands.
