Hello!
Oh dear, you fell into the trap! Here, you are presented with with both total numbers and percentages. Sometimes, you have to be careful what you write. For example, you say that sole parents (not 'solo') was the most common (not 'popular') category, but this is not true. Check the number of people (not the percentage!) for 'couple with children'.
This task requires some skills with regard to grammar and organisation. It has to be clear which figures you are referring to - total number or proportion/percentage. You should choose between 1) old, no children, parents, and 2) singles and couples.
The introduction fails to mention total number and the overview needs to be more precise.
All the best,
David
