The 113 parishes within the City at the last
Decennial Census constituted six Registration
Sub-Districts, but that number has been
gradually reduced until, at the commencement of
1900, there were only three Sub-Districts, viz.:—
1. St. Botolph, including 17 parishes.
2. St. Sepulchre „ 11„
3. Allhallows Barking„ 85„
The variations in the proportions of males and
females at different ages, the conditions of
housing, occupation, and all the other factors
which tend to favour or impair the public health,
make it requisite for the purpose of measuring
such influences that the statistical units should
be for small areas. Consequently the statistics
of the Report have been drawn up, as in
former years, for sub-districts. The populations
of the sub-districts at the middle of 1900 were
estimated to be—
St. Botolph 10,486
St. Sepulchre 8,490
Allhallows' Barking 8,022
26,998
