The number of inhabited houses on the 29th March was 15,266, giving
7.45 persons to each house; and, in 1891, there were 12,866 houses with 7.1
persons to each house. It will be remembered that the Registrar General
takes no notice of flats. For the purposes of the Census each block of flats
constitutes one house, whatever number of separate occupations there may be.
EMPTY HOUSES.
738 houses, or 4.6 per cent., were returned as empty, while, in 1891,
the empty houses numbered 797, or 5.8 per cent. The empty houses were
mainly confined to two wards of the parish, viz., Town and Barons Court
Wards, no less than 14 per cent, of the houses being empty in the former and
8 per cent, in the latter, while, in the remainder of the parish, only 2.5 per
cent. of the houses were empty.
HOUSES IN COURSE OF ERECTION.
That the population of the parish is still increasing at a rapid rate is
shown by the fact that at the time of the Census there were 222 houses in
the course of erection.
NATURAL INCREASE OF THE POPULATION.
During the intercensal period of 5 years there were, in Fulham, 18.376
births and 9,873 deaths, or an excess of registered births over deaths of 8,503.
