Hate.
During the year, 587 deaths were registered
in tne parish, of which 311 were of males, and 276 of
females, giving a death-rate of 12.4 per 1000.
To arrive at the actual number of deaths of parishioners
both within and without the district, the total
number of deaths of non-parishioners must be excluded
from the calculation and the deaths of parishioners outside
the district, in Metropolitan Institutions, &c, (for
details refer to Table II), must be included, representing
a total of 612, and giving the correct death-rate of
parishioners as 13.0 per 1000 of the population.
The death-rate, although apparently higher than that
of previous years is accountable to the hitherto different
method of calculation from that already described.
The statistics of former years give the death-rates of
parishioners within the parish, not accounting for those
dying in outside institutions. The death-rate for the
year upon that method of calculation would be 11.7 per
1000, far below the death-rate for London.
Table I. gives the number of births and deaths, birthrates
and death-rates, and rates of natural increase during
the past ten years.
