These are net death-rates. The rates for years previous to
1905 are not comparable, as it is not possible now to obtain the
numbers so as to apply the correction for deaths of residents and
non-residents.
Muswell Hill has the most uniform death-rate, and the lowest,
taking the whole period of seven years shewn in the table.
The lowest. Ward death-rate for the year 1911 is that of
Stroud Green Ward, viz., 6.3. The other Wards with a lower
death-rate than in 1910 are South Haringey, 8.1 as against 8.5 in
1910, and Finsbury Park, 11.9 as against 12.0 in 1910.
Muswell Hill has exactly the same death-rate as in 1910,
viz., 7.5.
All the other Wards of the Borough have higher death-rates
this year than in 1910, the greater difference being in East Hornsey
Ward, where a death-rate of 7 0 in 1910 has increased to one of
11.3 in 1911. Crouch End has a death-rate of 8.8 as compared
with 6 0 in 1910, and West Hornsey one of 12.5 as against a
death-rate of 10.0 a year ago. The remaining increases are less
marked.
