Vital Statistics.—The births registered in the District in the
year 1925, and also' the nett births belonging to the District, numbered
312, giving a birth-rate of 20.0 per 1,000 of the estimated population.
The rate for England and Wales for 1925 was 18.3 per 1,000.
The deaths registered in the District in 1925 numbered 223, of
which 52 occurred in the Queen Mary's Hospital, 39 in the
Beddington Corner Isolation Hospital, 20 in the Memorial Hospital,
and 2 in a Nursing Home; 106 deaths were transferred to other
districts, and 39 persons belonging to Carshalton died elsewhere,
leaving 156 nett deaths.
The death-rate for 1925 was 10.0 per 1,000 of the population. The
rate for England and Wales for 1925 was 12.2 per 1,000.
For purposes of comparison of the local death-rates -with those of
other districts, a factor is calculated by which the recorded death-rates
are multiplied in order to correct for the differences in the age and
sex distribution in different districts; the factor issued by the RegistrarGeneral
for this District, based on the 1911 population, was 1.019,
and that based on the 1921 population was .976; the standardised rates
therefore differ but slightly from those recorded. The death-rate for
1925, thus corrected, was 9.8 per 1,000.
The figures issued in the Tables in the Census Returns, showing
the age-distribution of the population of this District, include the
inmates of the Queen Mary's Hospital, and are not, therefore,
reproduced.
The deaths of infants under one year of age in 1925 numbered 13,
viz., 10 males and 3 females, all legitimate; 7 of the deaths occurred
within a month of birth; 5 were due to Congenital Debility or
Prematurity, and 4 to Rronchitis or Pneumonia. The infant mortality
rate was 42 per 1,000 births; the rate for England and Wales for 1925
was 75.
