POPULATION.
The estimated population for 1912 was 22,369.
There was an excess of 129 births over deaths and it is
also to be noted that 9 unoccupied houses have been reconstructed
to accommodate 25 families. The majority of these
flats are now occupied. I therefore estimate that the population
for 1913 is 22,434, an increase of 65 over the preceding
year, and it is upon this figure that the various rates are
based.
DEATH RATE.
The number of deaths registered in the Urban District
of Penge during the year, was 245, equal to a death rate of
10.92 per 1,000. Seven of these were deaths transferable to
other Districts, but 71 deaths which occurred in public
institutions outside the District were transferred to this. The
corrected number of deaths was therefore 309, equal to a
rate of 13.77 per 1000, as compared with 267 or 11.98 per
1000 for 1912, and 312 or 13.97 per 1000 for 1911.
INFANTILE MORTALITY.
The number of deaths of Infants under 1 year was 36,
corresponding to a rate of 82.19 per 1000 births.
