Table D—Re-distribution of Deaths among the Sub-Districts of Camberwell.
| Deaths returned classified according to sub-districts. | Deaths of persons removed from unknown addresses in Camberwell re-distributed. | Estimates of total deaths due to subdistricts. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dulwich | 88 | + 3 | 91 |
| Camberwell | 1,283 | + 33 | 1,316 |
| Peckham | 1,568 | + 41 | 1,609 |
| St. George's | 1,224 | + 32 | 1,256 |
| Total | 4,163 | + 109 | 4,272 |
After all these calculations and subtractions have been
made, the total number of deaths to be dealt with for the
purpose of calculating the death-rate amounts, as stated above,
to 4,272, making a death-rate for Camberwell of 16.34.
Although the whole Borough thus shows a decrease of .15 per
thousand compared with 1901, the individual sub-districts,
with the exception of Peckham, all show an increase on the
previous year. But it is the considerable lessening of the
figures for this latter division that brings down the rate for
the whole Borough.
