TO THE VESTRY OF THE
PARISH OF LAMBETH,
1894
THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH,
Being a Report for the Year 1894 on the Vital and Sanitary
Statistics of the Parish of Lambeth.
In pursuance of the provisions of the Metropolis Local
Management Act, 25 and 26 Vict., Cap. 102, Sec. 43, I
herewith lay before your Vestry a Report for the year 1894,
upon the Vital and Sanitary Statistics of the Parish of
Lambeth.
The population of the Parish of Lambeth, estimated in
the month of June, 1894, is represented by 282,246 persons.
The calculation is based on the ratio of increase observed
in the period of ten years intervening between the last
census and the preceding one. The annual increment thus
determined is 0.85 per cent. Comparing this estimate with
the result of a calculation based on the number of inhabited
houses, there is no material difference in the figures.
