Population.
The population of the Metropolitan Borough of Battersea
(created in November, 1900, under the provisions of the London
Government Act, 1899, and formed from the old Parish of Battersea,
after some rearrangement between the two districts of
Wandsworth and Battersea. to define the boundary line) as estimated
by the Registrar-General at the middle of 1908, was
183,873, made up as follows: —
East Battersea 76,321
North-West Battersea 49,453
South-West Battersea 58,099
183,873
The estimate of the Registrar-General is based on the assumption
that the rate of increase of population during the last intercensal
period was maintained during the subsequent years. It is
probably somewhat too high, but it has been adopted in this report
so that the Battersea statistics may be comparable with those of
other districts.
