marriage-rate) population includes all the elements of the population
contributing to the birth and marriage rates and may be
represented by:—
Death-rate population plus the district's proportional share of
all non-civilians enlisted from this country..
The number of deaths registered in the district was 1541, but
862 of these did not belong to the district, while 20 residents died
outside the district. Thus the number of deaths properly attributable
to the district was 769. Adopting the basis of the population
estimated by the Registrar-General, the death-rate for the district
comes to 12.35 per 1,800, which is comparable with the following
figures: 13.4 for England and Wales, and 13.8 for London.
The death-rate corrected by the Registrar-General's factor of
.931 is 11.5.
The total number of births registered during the year was
1135, but 181 of these did not belong to this district, while 124
births properly belonging to this district occurred outside the district.
The nett number of births thus attributable to the district
is 10.78. Adopting the population basis suggested by the Registrar-General
for the calculation of the birth-rate, this comes to
17.09 per 1,000. The birth-rate of England and Wales was 16.3
per 1,000, and for London 15.7 per 1,000.
