VITAL STATISTICS
Deaths
The number of registered deaths which took place in the Borough
during the year was 3,841 but 769 of these did not belong to the
Borough, while 1,954 Borough residents died outside the Borough.
The corrected number of deaths for the Borough, after allowing
for these factors, was 5,026, of whom 2,381 were males and 2,645
females.
The crude death-rate for the year was 14.83, compared with
15.37 for 1958, but after taking into account the area comparability
factor supplied by the Registrar-General, the adjusted rate works
out at 10.53. The death-rate for England and Wales as a whole was
11.6 and for London 11.9.
Table II shows the total number of registered deaths and the
death-rates for each division based on the approximate population
in each division.
