Area and Population.

The total population for Deptford has been estimated by the
Registrar-General as 115,843. The civil population has been estimated
as 111,205. These estimates have been based mainly upon the
rationing returns supplied to the Registrar-General by the Ministry of
Food. As far as Deptford is concerned the estimate for the civil
population is fairly correct, as by courtesy of the Executive Officer of
the Local Food Committee, I have been able to scrutinise the number
of ration books issued.
For the purpose of this Report the i it d population (115,843) has
been used in calculating the Birth and \l ite as it includes all
the elements of the population i o insists
therefore of all the non-civilians enlisted from this district whether
serving at home or abroad. For the Death Rate the estimate of the
civil population (111,205) has been adopted as it excludes all the men
who have joined the services from this Borough.

As the Borough has an area of 1,563 acres, the density of the
population on this estimate is 71 per acre approximately.
