[1911
Tollington.—Here the deaths numbered 403, which is 11 in excess of
those registered in 1910, but 40 below the average since 1902. They were
equal to an annual death-rate of 13.20 per 1,000 of the population of the district.
Lower Holloway.—In this district the deaths were 023 in number, which
is 24 above the number registered in the preceding year, although 24 below
the average of the preceding nine years. The death-rate was 15.84 per 1,000
Highbury.—The death returns were particularly satisfactory, as the
deaths, 749 in number, were not only 64 below the average of the nine years
1902-1910, but also below the lowest return in those years. The death-rate
was 12.09 per 1,000 of the population.
Barnsbury.—The mortality in this district was below the average of the
preceding nine years, the number of deaths registered having been 901, as
compared with 919 in the years 1902-10. It is, nevertheless, 101 above the
return for the preceding year, which was a remarkably healthy one. The
infantile mortality was alone responsible for 72 of this increase. The death-rate
was 17'0 per 1,000.
Islington South-East.—The returns gave 1,136 deaths, equal to a
death-rate of 15-84 per 1,000 of its population, as compared with 1,159 deaths
in the preceding nine years.
SEASONAL MORTALITY.
First Quarter.—The deaths numbered 1,392, or 123 less than the
corrected average (1,515) of the ten years (1901-1910), and were equal to an
annual death-rate of 15.66 per 1.000, as compared with a mean decennial rate
for this quarter of the year of 17.05 per 1,000. The mortality, in proportion
to population, was very low, when comparison is made with the death-rates of
the corresponding quarters of the years 1886-1910. The highest mortality
occurred in the last week of February, and the lowest in the second week of
March, at which periods the death-rates were respectively 17.89 and 13.64 per
1,000 annually.
Second Quarter—The deaths entered in the returns numbered 1,053, or
80 less than the corrected average (1,133) of the ten years (1901-1910). They
were equivalent to the low annual death-rate of 12.87 per 1,000, as compared
with a mean decennial rate for this quarter of the year of 13.85 per 1,000.
The highest mortality occurred in the third week of April, and the lowest in
the third week of May, at which periods the death-rates were respectively
17.53 and 8.92 per 1,000 annually.
