The "natural increase" of population during 1911, i.e., excess
of births over deaths, was 667. In the proceeding year the
"natural increase " was 656, so that this year there is a slight gain
in this respect. For many years past, the "natural increase "has
been a diminishing quantity, owing to the great decline in the
birth-rate. This year the "natural increase" accounts for almost
the whole of the increase of the Borough's population.
The estimated population at the end of each Quarter of 1911
was as follows :—
End of first quarter 84,599
„ second „ 84,624
„ third „ 84,629
„ fourth „ 84,992
The following table shews for each Ward of the Borough, the population estimated at the middle of the year, for the years
| Ward. | Estimated population, | Estimated population. | Variation during the year. 30th June, 1911, 30th June, 1910. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1911. | 1910. | Increase. | Decrease. | |
| Highgate | — | |||
| Muswell Hill | — | |||
| Crouch End | — | |||
| West Hornsey | — | |||
| East Hornsey | — | |||
| North Haringey | - | |||
| South Haringey | — | |||
| Stroud Green | — | |||
| Finsbury Park | — | |||
West Hornsey and Crouch End shew the largest increases, and,
for the first time, Muswell Hill has a small decrease in population,
Highgate and East Hornsey have almost equal increases in population.
In Stroud Green and North Haringey the increases are
satisfactory, following those of a year ago. A loss this year in
Finsbury Park replaces a gain of a year ago, and there is again a
loss in South Haringey, though smaller than last year.
