THE STRAND DISTRICT, LONDON.
133
Deaths.
The total number of deaths, after correction,* which
were registered as properly belonging to this District,
during the year was 671, as compared with 640 recorded
during the preceding year. Upon the basis of the
estimated population already referred to, this is
equivalent to an annual death-rate of 26.59 per thousand
residents throughout the District, as compared with
20.9 per thousand, the corresponding number for the
whole Metropolis during the year.
In Tables I. to V. in the Appendix are set forth the
various details concerning the deaths which have taken
place in the Strand and its Sub-Districts daring the
twelve months. Table IV. has been re-arranged, and
two new Tables (Nos. I. and II.) have been introduced
by order of the Local Government Board, who desire
to have a return of the deaths throughout the country
on a uniform plan. It shows that, excluding the Poland
Street and Edmonton Workhouse deaths, 686 deaths
occurred in the District; that 259 of these were of
persons who did not belong thereto, and that 244
persons belonging to the District died outside its bounds.
In Table V. the rates are set out for the Strand and
its Sub-Districts, and for the whole Metropolis, whereby
comparisons may be instituted.
The ages at which death occurred in the 671 deaths
belonging to this District are shewn below:—
*The correction above referred to consists in omitting all deaths which took
place in hospitals and kindred institutions within this district of persons not
properly belonging to it; and, on the other hand, of including every death of such
of its inhabitants as has occurred in hospitals, infirmaries, lunatic asylums, &c.
throughout the Metropolis generally, and also those of paupers belonging to the
several parishes of which the district is constituted, which have happened in the
workhouses of the Strand and Westminster Unions respectively.
