The number of births was 8, viz.: 8* males and 0 females. The birth-rate, omitting the
still-births, was 7.3 per 1,000, which is 0.5 per 1,000 above the average for the previous five
years. The birth-rate in these Dwellings reached a maximum of 46.9 per 1,000 in 1896,
and has since been falling irregularly, but almost progressively.
The death rate for 1933 was 14.6 per 1,000 per annum.
For the purposes of comparison of birth and death rates, the population in the whole
of these dwellings has been included in the calculation, as probably representing a class
homogeneity.
