Death-rates among inmates of common lodging houses.
With a view to comparing the mortality of the male inmates of common lodging houses with
that of the male population of London, the following Table I. has been prepared. For this purpose
the deaths of persons removed from common lodging houses to infirmaries and other like public
institutions have been included with those which actually occurred in these houses. The population
of common lodging houses is, however, variable, and rates calculated upon it are necessarily open to
objection. Table II. has therefore been prepared showing the proportion of deaths from several
causes of mortality per 1,000 of total deaths and in common lodging houses, the corresponding
figures for London being shown for comparative purposes.
