Where is everyone

So, after my wife and I got a DS diagnosis for our soon to be child, I saw that 1 in 300 babies have DS. I feel like that number is pretty high and I’ve been wondering why I don’t see as many people with DS in the general public? I’m in Dallas and the support systems seem to be really robust here so I feel like I would see more parents with their chronic homies out and about, but I haven’t seen any since our diagnosis, or if I go to meet a family who we know has a child with DS. Where is everyone, do parents just find it easier to keep children with DS at home or is it too difficult to go out?
