VITAL STATISTICS 11
Deaths
The number of registered deaths which took place in the Borough
during the year was 3,705 but 480 of these did not belong to the
Borough, while 1,972 Borough residents died outside the Borough.
The corrected number of deaths for the Borough, after allowing
for these factors, was 5,193, of whom 2,396 were males and 2,797
females.
The crude death-rate for the year was 15.37, compared with
14.72 for 1957, but after taking into account the area comparability
factor supplied by the Registrar-General, the adjusted rate works
out at 10.75. The death-rate for England and Wales as a whole was
11.7 and for London 11.8.
Table II shows the total number of registered deaths and the
death-rates for each division based on the approximate population
in each division.
