Corrected The corrected death-rate is obtained by the
Death-Rate. exclusion of deaths of non-parishioners occurring
within the Parish, and the inclusion of those of parishioners
taking place in other parts of the Metropolis.
The deaths of non-parishioners within the Parish numbered
301, the total being made up as indicated in the preceding table.
Of parishioners occurring in other parts of the Metropolis, the
deaths numbered 348 as follows:—
In Union Workhouses and Infirmaries 19
General and Special Hospitals 168
Metropolitan Asylums Board Fever Hospitals
90
County and other Lunatic Asylums 51
Elsewhere 20
348
Of the latter deaths further details will be found upon
reference to Table VII. The corrected total of deaths of parishioners
during the year is therefore two thousand nine hundred
and five, producing a corrected death rate of 16.6. It will thus
be observed that even after correction the death-rate for
Battersea, for the year 1899, is 2.7 per thousand lower than that
of the Metropolis, which according to the Annual Report of the
Registrar-General, had a corrected death-rate of 19.3 per thousand.
The recorded death-rate for England and Wales was 18.3 per
thousand during the year under report.
The following tables will be of interest as indicating the
death-rates, &c., of the various London Sanitary Areas, and
also those of each of the thirty-three principal towns during
the year. The deaths from zymotic disease in the larger South
London parishes are not really greater in relative numbers as
appears at first sight as they contain a larger proportional
population of children and young persons of susceptible age than
the parishes in other parts of the Metropolis.
