VITAL STATISTICS.
Population.
The population of the Borough of Battersea estimated to the
middle of 1927 is 169,000. This figure shows a decrease as compared
with 1926 and is the result of a revision by the RegistrarGeneral
based, it is understood, upon information as to migration.
It is probable that the figures given by the Registrar-General
will be found an under-estimate.
The estimated population based upon the Registrar-General's
figures, for the registration Sub-districts and for the nine Wards
into which the Borough is divided, is set out in the following
Table:-
