I.—VITAL STATISTICS.
All the estimated populations are calculated upon the
enumerated populations of the Censuses of 1891 and 1896,
and made up to the middle of the year 1900.
The Parish of Lambeth contains 4,059 statute acres,
inclusive of 79 tidal water and 39 foreshore, with an
estimated population of 312,152 persons to the middle of
the year 1900, consisting of 147,441 males and 164,711
females, or an excess of 17,270 females.
The total estimated increase of the population is 4,044,
but the " natural increment," i.e., the excess of births over
deaths, is 3,737, so that an entry of 307 in excess of those
who went out of the Parish during the year must be assumed.
