ANNUAL DEATH BATE.
Upon the basis of our estimated population we shew a death rate
for a year of ordinary length of 22.8, this is one per thousand below
that of last year; and though this is much above the general
Metropolitan rate, which was only 20.3, it is below that for the Eastern
districts of London, which is 23 per thousand. The rate in the
Western districts is 19.1; in the South, 19.8; in the North, 19.1;
and in the Central, 23.0.
As before mentioned, the death rate for the whole of London was
20.34, this was the lowest death rate on record in the Metropolis, the
next lowest having been that of the immediately preceding year, 1883,
V
when the rate was 20.44. There has been no death rate approaching
these since 1850, when it was 21.0.
In the following table are compared the mortality rates for London
and for Bethnal Green by quarters.
