The age constitution of a district is of importance in considering
the death rate and especially the Zymotic death rate, as some of the
most prevalent of these diseases as Diarrhoea, Whooping Cough, and
Measles are mainly fatal to young children, consequently a large proportion
of children under 5 in a population must give rise to a
relatively high Zymotic death rate.
Comparing Fulham with the neighbouring parishes a great difference
will be found in the proportion of children under 5 in the respective
populations :—
No. of Children under 5.
Fulham 14.1 per cent. of population.
Hammersmith 12.0 „ „
Chelsea 11.0 „ „
Kensington 8.1 „ „
St. George's,
Hanover Square 7.2 „ „
AREA AND DENSITY OF POPULATION.
The area of Fulham is 1701 acres and there are 61 persons to the
acre. A considerable portion of the parish, probably some 450 acres
lying chiefly in the southern and western portions of the district, is
still unbuilt on, so these figures give a misleading idea of the actual
