divided into certain groups, the results of the
analysis being set out in Table 28.
The highest death-rate from all causes recorded
was that of Wellings Place (65.6), and the lowest
that of Andover Place (6.8). Much importance
cannot, however, be attached to these rates, owing
to the very small numbers dealt with. The rates
prevailing in such streets as Clarendon Street (36.0),
Cirencester Street (24.0), and Woodchester Street
(21.3), are more worthy of attention. In these
three streets the death-rates at ages under 10 years
varied from 59.7 in Clarendon Street, to 27.2 in
Woodchester Street; whilst at ages over 10 years
they ranged from 25.4 in Clarendon Street
to 18.7 in Cirencester Street. There are
no death-rates at these ages for the remainder
of the Parish for comparison. The death-rate
from the principal zymotic diseases varied from
3.5 in Cirencester Street to l.9 in Woodchester
Street. The percentage of deaths in institutions
was highest in Cirencester Street (38.2) and lowest
in Woodchester Street. Deaths from tubercular
disease constituted nearly 15 per cent. of all deaths
both in Cirencester and Clarendon Streets.
