Estimated Population.
For the purpose of calculating the death and other rates, the
population employed is that estimated to the middle of 1902, and by
the usual method of computation, that amounted to 83,743.
Density of Population.
The area of the Borough is 2265 acres, and the estimated number
of persons to the acre is 36.9. The proportion of persons to the acre at
the Census, 1901, was 36.17 of the estimated population. As compared
with the other Metropolitan Boroughs in Table VII., page 71, Hampstead
stood fifth on the list.
It will be seen on reference to Table VI., page 70, that the average
number of persons per house in the Borough at the Census, 1901, was
7.25. I would point out, however, that for Census purposes a block of
model dwellings or residential mansions is counted as a single house,
whatever may be the number of separate tenements contained therein.
