STREATHAM.
Population.
The estimated population for this sub-district
at the middle of the year 1895 was 51126, and the following
statistics will be based upon this calculation.
This is probably below the actual population, but the
ensuing census will give the correct figures.
Births and Birth
Rate.
The number of births registered during the
year was 1,200, being 585 of males and 615 of females.
The birth-rate calculated upon the foregoing estimate of
population is 23.1 per 1,000, being the lowest recorded
during the decennium.
Deaths and Death
Rate.
During the year, 581 deaths were registered
p.s occurring within the district, 286 being of males, and
295 of females, giving a death-rate of 11.3 per 1000,
being 0.4 per 1000 below the decennial average.
To obtain the corrected death-rate, the deaths of
parishioners occuring outside the district (73 in Dumber)
must be included and those of non-parishioners within
the district (32) excluded, giving a total of 622, and
representing a rate of 12T per 1000.
Natural Increase.
The excess of births over deaths numbered
619, of males 299 and of females 320, producing a rate
of 121 per 1000 of the population.
