VITAL STATISTICS 11
Deaths
The number of registered deaths which took place in the Borough
during the year was 3,195 but 269 of these did not belong to the
Borough, while 1,962 Borough residents died outside the Borough.
The corrected number of deaths for the Borough, after allowing
for these factors, was 4,888 of whom 2,333 were males and 2,555
females.
The crude death-rate for the year was 14.63, compared with
14.86 for 1953, but after taking into account the area comparability
factor supplied by the Registrar General, the adjusted rate works
out at 12.58. This compares with 10.7 for the whole of London and
11.3 for England and Wales.
Table II shows the total number of registered deaths and the
death-rates for each division based on the approximate population in
each division.
