The Borough of Lambeth contains 4079.6 statute acres,
exclusive of 821 tidal water, 0.8 inland water, and 311 foreshore,
with an estimated total population of 305,102 persons
to the middle of 1902, consisting of 144,315 males and
160,787 females, or an excess of 16,472 females.
The total estimated increase (1901-1902) of the popu-lation
is 2,569, but the " natural increment," i.e , the excess
of births over deaths is 3,680, so that an exodus of 1,111 in
excess of those who came into the Borough during 1902
must be assumed.
The estimated Populations of the Borough of Lambeth
to the middle of 1902 may be tabulated as follow:—
