This table has been corrected as regards " estimated
population" by calculating the ratio of increase of the
population year by year 10,913, in 1891 to 42,622 in
1901, that is from census to census. Column 8 is thus
calculated from the total estimated population in column 1.
All the other columns are calculated from the estimated nett
population, that is, not including the populations of the Public
Institutions, viz.:—
Claybury Asylum.
West Ham Asylum.
Dr. Barnardo's Village Homes.
It will be noticed that for the earlier years the rates are
too low; that is due to this method bringing the populations
for the earlier years too high.
This table should be compared with the corresponding
table in last year's report.
