Deaths.— The number of deaths registered in the Borough
in 1911 was 665, being 39 deaths more than the number registered
in 1910.
The yearly average number of deaths registered in the Borough
during the last ten years was 633.
The death-rate calculated on these figures (gross death-rate)
is 7.85 per thousand of the mean population for the year. This
is 0.40 higher than the corresponding rate last year.
This, however, includes only deaths actually registered in the
Borough, and does not include those of Hornsey people dying
elsewhere.
There were 178 Hornsey people who died outside the district
during 1911, viz.:—
64 in the Edmonton Workhouse,
22 in the Great Northern Central Hospital,
54 in other Hospitals outside the Borough,
10 in Lunatic Asylums, and
28 in various other places.
On the other hand there were 31 deaths registered in Hornsey
of persons non-resident in the district.
To get the net deaths belonging to Hornsey we must add to
the number of deaths registered in the Borough the number (178)
of Hornsey people dying outside the Borough, and deduct the
number (31) of deaths registered in Hornsey of persons who
normally resided in other districts.
This gives us the net number of deaths belonging to Hornsey
as 812, an increase of 75 over the corresponding number for 1910.
The death-rate calculated on these figures is the net deathrate,
and for the past 7 years is asi follows : —
Year. Net death-rate
1905 8.78
1906 9.57
1907 9.35
1908 9.14
1909 9.47
1910 8.77
1911 9.58
It is only for these seven years that the comparison can be
made, as for the years before 1905 the figures referring to deaths
of Hornsey people outside the Borough cannot be obtained.
