Town Hall,
Fulham, S.W.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the
Borough of Fullam.
Sir and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my Annual Report
on the vital statistics and the conditions affecting the health of
the district for the year 1900.
The statistics of births, deaths and infectious diseases, relate
to the 52 weeks ending December 29th, 1900.
POPULATION.
The population of Fulham at the Census taken on March
29th, 1896, was 113,781, having increased from 91,640 during the
previous five years.
The population in the middle of 1900, as estimated on the
hypothesis that the rate of increase which prevailed between
1891 and 1896 has been continued since, was 136,383.
Since, however, this report was written, the Census was taken
on April Ist, and from the unrevised figures which have been
obtained, it appears that the population was somewhat overestimated,
it being on that day 137,289; so that it may be
estimated that in the middle of 1900 the population was 133,630,
and on this figure the statistics in this report are based.
The following table shows the increase in population of the
district during the last 50 years.
