If you're stocking up on candy for trick-or-treaters, you might want an extra bag or two if you live in Plaquemines or St. Bernard Parish.
Why it matters: An Axios analysis of census data shows those parishes have the area's highest concentration of 5-to-14-year-olds, which is prime trick-or-treating age.
In Plaquemines and St. Bernard, kids ages 5-14 make up 15.2% of the population.
- They're followed by St. Tammany (13.4%) and Jefferson Parish (12.2%).
- Orleans Parish has the smallest share of 5-to-14-year-olds at 10.9%.
The big picture: Nationally, kids that age make up 12.5% of the population.
