I would like to know how many children are living in each post code area/SMOA/MSOA/ward. Is this kind of information available? Is there anything more recent than the 2011 census?

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request regarding the number of children in postcodes, wards and output areas.
We publish small area population estimates (SAPE) for wards and output areas with the latest being mid-2016. While we do not produce data by postcode you can use the data in our SAPE tables in conjunction with the postcode to output area lookup table to enable you to build the population estimates for postcodes.
