PUTNEY & ROEHAMPTON.
The population of the sub-district of Putney and
Roehampton, as enumerated at the Census of 1896, was
found to be 20,566. Since the Census of 1891, the
population has increased by 2,785. During the ten
years, from 1881 to 1891, the population advanced from
13,221 to 17,771, an increase of 4,550. Since the year
1891, therefore the increase of population has been going
on at a slightly more rapid rate. In the figures so
enumerated of the population last year, we have got a
perfectly reliable basis on which to calculate the various
rates in the tables following.
Births and
Birth-rates.
The total number of births registered during the
year was 468, and of these 241 were males
and 227 females. The birth-rate was 22.7 per 1,000 of
the population—one of the lowest rates we have touched
during the last twelve years.
Deaths and
Death-rates.
252 deaths were registered during the year
in this sub-district from all causes. This
number, of course, does not include those parishoners who
have died in the various hospitals and institutions lying
outside our registration sub-district. Eight deaths registered
within this sub-district were of non-parishoners.
If we substract this number from 252 and add 36—the
number of deaths of parishioners occurring in the outlying
institutions—we arrive at the true number of deaths
among residents in this sub-district.
