Golden Square Division.
Population in 1851, 14,139
Ditto in 1861, 13,963
Diminution of population from 1851 to 1861, 176
Population in 1871, 12,855
Diminution from 1861 to 1871, 1,108
The probability is that the decrease of this
population has been really larger than the numbers
express, as the residents of the Workhouse are
included, and within the last three years a number
of inmates have been received from the Parish of
Saint Anne, Soho, and of which the census in its
present form gives no account.
Berwick Street Division.
Population in 1851, 10,798
Ditto in 1861, 10,608
Diminution from 1851 to 1861, 190
Population in 1871, 10,279
Diminution from 1861 to 1871, 329
Thus in every district of the Parish there has
been a diminution, but in the most overcrowded and
unhealthy part of it, the Berwick Street district,
there has been less diminution than in any other.
The above table affords us an indication as to
whether the diminution of the population has been
in males or females.
Females in excess in 1861. Females in 1871.
