Resident officers and servants are included as belonging to
Edmonton.
In this analysis there are, however, as Mr. Graham points
out, two sources of error. One is that "Edmonton" means
Edmonton parish, and includes a small portion of the Southgate
Local Government District, as well as that of Edmonton; and
the other is the fact that many paupers originally admitted to
the Workhouse from other districts go out and reside temporarily
in Tottenham or Edmonton seeking work, and when re-admitted,
often after only a short time, are classed as belonging to one or
other of these districts.
However, taking the figures as they stand, I should estimate
the death rate of the district as follows:—
Deaths in district 365
Deaths in Edmonton Workhouse be-
longing to district 47
Deaths occurring outside district, but
belonging thereto 12
Total 424
Estimated population of district 30080
Portion of population of Workhouse
belonging to district 226
Total 30,306
Death rate = 13 958 per 1000.
For comparison with report for 1894 I have also calculated
the death rate in the manner therein adopted.
Death rate excluding both population
and deaths in Workhouse = 12134
Death rate including both population
and deaths in Workhouse = 16 569
Mean of these two = 14.351.
