The population for the year intervining between 1901 and 1911, in which, of course, no census was taken, have been re-estimated, and are as follows:-
| Year. | Population estimated to the middle of each year. |
|---|---|
| 1901 | 72,865 |
| 1902 | 73,992 |
| 1903 | 75,526 |
| 1904 | 78,659 |
| 1905 | 79,193 |
| 1906 | 80,095 |
| 1907 | 81,909 |
| 1908 | 82,230 |
| 1909 | 83,034 |
| 1910 | 83,953 |
| 1911 | 84,711 |
In my last report the population at the middle of 1910, was
estimated at 94,721, and the Registrar General's figure was 98,561.
The revised estimate for the middle of 1910, as shewn above, is
83,953; a decrease of 10,768 as compared with my estimate, and a
decrease of 14,608 on the Registrar General's estimate. The estimated
population at the middle of 1911 is 84,711, an increase of
758 over the revised estimate for 1910. The statistical calculations
of this report are based on the estimated population of 84,711.
The following table shews the yearly increase per cent. for each year since the last Census:—
| Increase of population during the year. | Increase per cent. | |
|---|---|---|
| 1901-1902 | 1,126 | 1.5 |
| 1902-1903 | 1,534 | 2.0 |
| 1903-1904 | 3,133 | 4.1 |
| 1904-1905 | 534 | 0.6 |
| 1905-1906 | 902 | 1-1 |
| 1906-1907 | 1,814 | 2.2 |
| 1907-1908 | 321 | 0.3 |
| 1908-1909 | 804 | 1.0 |
| 1909-1910 | 919 | 1.1 |
| 1910-1911 | 758 | 0.9 |
The rate of increase has been very irregular, but seems inclined
to settle at somewhere about 1 per cent. per annum. The
year 1903.4 was the year of great expansion, and smaller but still
considerable increases occurred in the years 1902.3 and 1906.7.
The average yearly increase in population for the last 10
years, is 1,184. The increase for the last year being 758, is considerably
below the average yearly increase.
