Whether the corrected or uncorrected death-rates for the
Borough (as a whole) be taken, they are satisfactory for the
year 1913 (the thirteenth year of the existence of the
Borough). Sub-dividing the death-rates according to
Registration Sub-Districts, it is again shewn that the
Inner Districts (Lambeth Church, Kennington, and inner
part of Stockwell) have, collectively and individually,
suffered more than the Outer Districts, e.g., outer part of
Stockwell, Brixton and Norwood. So, too, if the deathrates
be sub-divided amongst the Wards, it will be
noted also that the Inner Wards, e.g., Marsh, Bishop’s,
Prince’s and Vauxhall, have, collectively and individually,
suffered more than the Outer Wards, e.g., Stockwell,
Brixton, Herne Hill, Tulse Hill and Norwood. The reason
for this difference is again to be noted in the fact that the
Inner Districts are more congested than the Outer. The
status of the inhabitants and the general conditions (sanitary
and otherwise), under which they live, are also matters to
bear in mind, when dealing with this subject.
Taking the Registration Sub-Districts (Table D (1)), and
the Wards (Table D (2)), into which the Borough is subdivided,
the corrected death-rates for 1913 will be found to
vary between the Inner and the Outer Districts as follows:
