Town Hall,
Fulham, S.W.
To the Vestry of the Parish of Fulham.
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit to you my Annual Report on the vital statistics and
the conditions affecting the health of the district for the year 1897. The
statistics of Marriages, Births, Deaths, and Infectious Diseases relate to the
52 weeks ending January Ist, 1898.
Population.
The population of Fulham as enumerated at the Census taken on
March 29th, 1896, was 113,781, having increased from 91,640 during the
preceding ten years. The population in the middle of 1897, as calculated
in the usual manner on the hypothesis that the rates of increase which
prevailed between 1891 and 1896 have been maintained since, was 120,040,
and on this figure the statistics in this report are based.
AGE AND SEX DISTRIBUTION.
