The Registrar-General's statistics relating to population and deaths
differ slightly from those compiled from local records. The total
figures in respect of the district as a whole, which are supplied by the
Registrar-General, are set out in this report, but where classification
has been made, e.g., by age groups, sex, wards, etc., it has necessarily
been based on our own records, which may, in the aggregate, show slight
discrepancies compared with the Registrar-General's totals.
UNEMPLOYMENT.
The number of unemployed Carshalton residents registered at the
Sutton Exchange at the end of the year was :—
Men 163
Women 61
Bovs 10
Girls 11
245
POPULATION.
The estimated population rose by about 700, due mainly to natural
increase.
The distribution by wards at mid-1948 is estimated as follows :
