VITAL STATISTICS
Deaths
The number of registered deaths which took place in the Borough
during the year was 3,876 but 332 of these did not belong to the
Borough, while 1,715 Borough residents died outside the Borough.
The corrected number of deaths for the Borough, after allowing
for these factors, was 5,259, of whom 2,474 were males and 2,785
females.
The crude death-rate for the year was 15.57, compared with
15.47 for 1955, but after taking into account the area comparability
factor supplied by the Registrar-General, the adjusted rate works
out at 10.89.
