AUTIZANS' DWELLINGS, HOUNDSDITCH.
These buildings accommodate a population
of 1,066 persons, about 53 per cent, being
adults, and 47 per cent, children.
The death rate was 16.9 per 1,000 per
annum [of which 27.8 per cent, were children
under 5 years of age] as compared with 15.4
in Peabody Buildings.
Deaths of children under one year to 1,000
births was 93, as against 109 for the City
generally and 137.3 in Peabody Buildings.
[Table C in Appendix.]
The number of births was 43, viz: 23 males
and 20 females.
The Birth Rate is high in our dwellings, viz.:
40.3 per 1,000, as against 16.3 for the whole
of the City, and 349 in Peabody Buildings.
For the fourth year in succession no
illegitimate children were registered as born in
these dwellings, which should be regarded as
highly satisfactory.
