After the suitable adjustments rendered necessary by the foregoing
tables have been made, the net deaths of the Borough numbered
3,773 (1,983 males and 1,790 females), being 662 less than the
previous year and 881 below the average for the last ten years. This
makes an annual death-rate for the year of 13.1 per 1,000, or 3.8
below the average death-rate during the ten years 1900-1909, which
was 16.9 per 1,000.
Corrected for age and sex distribution, the annual death-rate
becomes 14.0 per 1,000, the factor for correction being 1.0693.
Both the foregoing birth-rate and death-rate, as well as the
subsequent rates, have been calculated from a population estimated at
the middle of the year at 287,471, being the corrected estimate
based on the Census figure for 1911.
