DEATHS.
The total deaths occurring in Hampstead during the year amounted
to 1,106. Of these, however, no less than 387 were of persons not
belonging to the Borough, while 142 residents of Hampstead died in
outlying districts.
The total number of deaths, therefore, amongst persons belonging
to Hampstead amounted to 861.
Death-rate.
The death-rate, calculated upon the total number of deaths (whether
of resident or non-resident persons) occurring in the Borough during
the year, was 12.9 per 1000 of the population; but after subtracting
from the total deaths registered the deaths of non-resident persons dying
in Hampstead, and adding the deaths of Hampstead residents who died
outside the district, the recorded death-rate is found to be 10.0 per
1000 of the population, as compared with the rate of 9.9 per 1000 of
the population in 1911. The average recorded death-rate for the five
years 1907-1911 was 9.7.

In the table on page 140 the death-rates of Hampstead may be
compared with those of England and Wales since 1875.
The following table, which is issued by the Registrar-General, shows
the death-rate of Hampstead as compared with the rates of the County
of London, and the Metropolitan Cities and Boroughs:—
