It will be seen that the birth-rate for Finsbury is greater than
the rate for the whole of England and Wales, greater than the
birth-rate for London, and greater than the rates in the 97
great towns, the 145 smaller towns, and the essentially rural
districts. The birth-rate is greatest in St. Luke; least in St.
Sepulchre. Of the total number of Finsbury births, 252 occurred
in outlying institutions ; 915 births of non-residents took place
in the borough.
