Deaths.—The deaths registered in the Borough during 1921
numbered 2,757; but of these 648 were deaths of non-residents
who died inside the Borough, There were, however, 471 residents
of Hackney who died during the year outside the Borough. On
making the necessary corrections, the corrected number of deaths
amongst Hackney residents is 2,580. This is a decrease of 281
upon the number of deaths occurring during 1920. The general
death-rate from all causes for the year 1921 is 11.5 per 1,000 of
the population-
Amongst the Registration Sub-districts the death-rate was lowest in the North Sub-district (11.1 per 1,000), the highest in the South-east Sub-district (11.9 per 1,000).
