I. VITAL STATISTICS.
The Borough of Lambeth contains 4079.6 statute acres,
exclusive of 82T tidal water, 0.8 inland water, and 31.1 foreshore,
with an estimated total population of 318538 persons to
the middle of 1907, consisting of 150830 males and 167708
females, or an excess of 16878 females.
The total estimated increase (1906-1907) of the population is
2764, but the "natural increment," i.e., the excess of births over
deaths (uncorrected) is 3724, so that an exodus of 960 in
excess of those who came into the Borough during 1907 must
be assumed.
The estimated Populations of the Borough of Lambeth to the middle of 1907 may be tabulated as follow:—
