Total 2,909
DEATH RATE.
I regret that our mortality for the year under consideration
exceeded that of the previous year; to the causes of this increase I
shall refer later on. Upon the basis of the estimated population I
calculate a death rate of 22.5. This is an increase of nearly one per
thousand over the rate of the previous year, and is no less than 4.3
in excess of the corresponding rate for the whole of London, namely
18.2.
The mortality in the three sub-districts was as under:—
North 23.15
South 23.80
East 20.87
In the following table the mortality rates for London and for
Bethnal Green are compared by Quarters, and the mean temperature
and rainfall for each three months are also shewn:—
