FUL 1
Town Hall,
Fulham.
To the Vestry of the Parish of Fulham,
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit to you the Annual Report on the vital
statistics and the conditions affecting the health of the district for
the year ending December 31st, 1893.
POPULATION.
The population of Fulham as enumerated at the Census of 1891
was 91,640, and in the middle of 1893 was estimated to be 104,735, on
the assumption that the rates of increase which prevailed between 1881
and 1891 have been maintained. That the population is still increasing
at the same remarkable rate that it did between 1881 and 1891, during
which period it increased from 42,900 to 91,640, is shown by the
increase in the number of inhabited houses in the parish as given in
the following table:—
1881—Number of inhabited houses in Fulham 6,685
1891 „ „ „ „ 13,496
1892 „ „ „ „ 14,407
1893 „ „ „ „ 14,906
The increase for the last two years being at the rate of 714 houses a
year, as against 681 a year during the previous inter-censal period of
10 years.
SOCIAL CONDITION OF THE INHABITANTS.
In the Census of 1891 each head of family or occupier living in
less than five rooms was asked to state the number of rooms occupied,
so that from the amount of overcrowding some idea may be gathered
