DEATHS.
1,692 deaths were registered in the sub-districts of the Borough
during 1933.
22 deaths occurred in the street, or on the way to hospital.
1,010 deaths occurred in Public Assistance Institutions, the various
hospitals, and other public places for the treatment of the sick found
within our boundaries. These deaths in institutions comprised 344
belonging to Southwark and 666 to other sanitary districts.
The number of inhabitants belonging to the Borough dying away
from home—that is, outside our boundaries in the various hospitals and
infirmaries—was 1,272.
When the 666 deaths of those persons who were non-parishioners,
but who died in our Borough, have been deducted, and the 1,272 "outlying"
deaths added, the actual or "corrected" number of deaths
belonging to the sanitary area is found to be 2,298, of which number
1,269 were males and 1,029 females.
The death-rate, when calculated on this "corrected" number, is
13.9 per 1,000 inhabitants for the whole Borough for the year 1933, as
against a rate of 13.1 for 1932.
The percentage of persons dying away from Southwark in relation
to the total number of deaths belonging to the Borough was 55.4.
