I. VITAL STATISTICS.
The Borough of Lambeth contains 4079.6 statute acres,
exclusive of 821 tidal water, 0.8 inland water, and 31.1 foreshore,
with an estimated total population of 307,711 persons to
the middle of 1903, consisting of 145,585 males and 162,126
females, or an excess of 16,541 females.
The total estimated increase (1902-1903) of the population is
2,609, but the " natural increment," i.e., the excess of births over
deaths (uncorrected) is 4,216, so that an exodus of 1,607 in
excess of those who came into the Borough during 1903 must
be assumed.
