I. VITAL STATISTICS.
The Borough of Lambeth contains 4079.6 statute acres,
exclusive of 82.1 tidal water, 0.8 inland water, and 31.1 foreshore,
with an estimated total population of 313,045 persons to
the middle of 1905, consisting of 148,169 males and 164,876
females, or an excess of 16,707 females.
The total estimated increase (1904-1905) of the population is
2,686, but the "natural increment," i.e., the excess of births over
deaths (uncorrected) is 3,939, so that an exodus of 1,253 in
excess of those who came into the Borough during 1905 must
be assumed.
The estimated Populations of the Borough of Lambeth to the middle of 1905 may be tabulated as follow:— Estimated Populations. (Estimated, Middle 1905.) I. Wards.
