When compared with the 76 great towns and the 142 smaller
towns Hampstead occupies a creditable position in respect of
infantile mortality. Only one of the former towns (Hornsey) and
two of the latter (Penge and Finchley) have rates lower than that of
Hampstead. The rate in Hornsey was 62, in Penge 52, and in
Finchley 61. The following is a list of the 76 great towns in which
the infantile mortality was lower than 100 per 1,000 births.
