Chelsea, the city of little kids

One day I was thinking to myself, there seem to be an awful lot of little kids in Chelsea.

So I pulled up the Census data to see if that was true (specifically, the 2021 ACS five-year estimates).

And it is true! Chelsea is #8 out of all the cities and towns in Massachusetts when you rank them by who have the biggest percent of residents under age 5.

And when you ignore tiny little towns with less than 5,000 residents, Chelsea is #1.
