I. VITAL STATISTICS.
The Borough of Lambeth contains 4079.6 statute acres,
exclusive of 82T tidal water, 0'8 inland water, and 31.1 foreshore,
with an estimated total population of 315774 persons to'
the middle of 1906, consisting of 149491 males and 166283
females, or an excess of 16792 females.
The total estimated increase (1905-1906) of the population is
2729, but the " natural increment," i.e., the excess of births over
deaths (uncorrected) is 3944, so that an exodus of 1215 in
excess of those who came into the Borough during 1906 must
be assumed.
The estimated Populations of the Borough of Lambeth to the
middle of 1906 may be tabulated as follow:—
