In all probability the last figure in the above six is the real
death-rate for the district (13.8 per 1000). Anyway it is certainly
more nearly correct than either of the two immediately before it,
and is more likely to be accurate than the official one of 15 9.
But the facts being stated, anyone can of course form another
opinion.
It is calculated in the same manner as that adopted for the quarterly birth-rates,
1st quarter | 18.1 | per 1000 |
2nd ,, | 14.4 | |
3rd ,, | 13.1 | |
4th ,, | 13.9 |
The calculations are made on the official estimate of the
population.
