i. vital statistics.
The Borough of Lambeth contains 4079.6 statute acres,
exclusive of 82.1 tidal water, 0.8 inland water, and 31.8
foreshore, with an estimated total population of 324,188
persons to the middle of 1909, consisting of 153,505 males
and 170,683 females, or an excess of 17,178 females.
The total estimated increase (1908-1909) of the population
is 2,844, but the "natural increment," i.e., the excess of
births over deaths (uncorrected) is 3,569, so that an exodus
of 725 in excess of those who came into the Borough during
1909 must be assumed.
The estimated Populations of the Borough of Lambeth
to the middle of 1909 may be tabulated as follow :—
