Tables G, H and I show the uncorrected returns (male
and female) arranged as to new Registration Sub-Districts,
age periods, and quarters respectively, and are given for
comparison with similar tables in former Lambeth Reports.
The place that the Borough of Lambeth takes during 1909
in the Registrar-General's corrected Returns amongst the
Metropolitan Districts is satisfactory. There are 15 other
Districts (out of 29) with a less general death-rate; 16 with
a less zymotic death-rate, and 18 with a less infantile
mortality-rate. Taking the 10 South Metropolitan Districts,
Lewisham has the smallest general death-rate per 1000 of
the population, viz. : 10.3, and Bermondsey the highest,
viz.: 18.8, as compared with 14.0 for Lambeth, 13.0 for Battersea,
13.4 for Camberwell, and 16.8 for Southwark.
London, as a whole, has a birth-rate of 24.2, a corrected
death-rate of 14.0, a corrected zymotic (death-) rate of 1.3
per 1000 population and an infant mortality (corrected) of
108 per 1000 births; and England and Wales a birth-rate of
25.6, a death-rate of 14.5, a zymotic death-rate of 1,12 per
1000 population, and an infantile mortality of 109 per 1000
births; and the Registrar-General's 76 great towns of
England and' Wales a birth-rate of 25.7, a death-rate of 14.7
(crude), a zymotic death-rate of 1.42 per 1000 population,
and an infantile mortality of 118 per 1000 births.
Age Periods of Corrected Deaths.
The 4,540 corrected deaths during 1909 may be further
analysed, and tabulated as follows :—
830, i.e., 18.3 per cent. of the total corrected deaths
took place under 1 year of age.
420, i.e., 9.3 per cent,.between 1 and 5 years.
1250, i.e., 27.5 per cent. under 5 years.
208, i.e., 4.8 per cent,.between 5 and 20 years.
