POPULATION.
The population of the Parish was estimated to be,
at the middle of the year 1895, 122,750 persons, of
whom 90,577 were residents of the Sub-District of St.
Mary, or North Paddington, and 32,173 of St. John,
or South Paddington.* The estimated population
has been obtained by the method given in the Report
for 1894. A census, to the extent of a bare enumeration
of the numbers of each sex, is to be held in
1896.
The total of 122,750 persons is made up of 50,795
males, and 71,955 females. The estimates of the
numbers living in the various age-groups given in
Table 1, have been calculated on the assumption that
the proportions for each group were the same in
1895 as at the Census of 1891. Table 1 also gives
the sex and age-constitution of the population of
London, arrived at in the same way. The sex-age
"correction factor" for Paddington is 1'08070.
* The dividing line between the two sub-districts begins at the centre of
Praed Street, where it joins Edgware Road, and continues down the centre
of the canal basin to Bishop's Road bridge, thence down the centre of Bishop's
Road and Westbourne Grove, to the western boundary of the Parish.
