STREATHAM.
Population
The Census enumeration of 1896, shows
that during the five years from 1891-1896, the population
has increased at the rate of 2,276 per annum,
producing a mean population of 55,907 for the middle of
the year 1896, upon which will be based the various
mortality and other rates. As suggested in my Report
for 1895, the estimated population for that year was much
below the actual, indicating the advisability of a quinquennial
census.
Births and
Birth-rate.
The births registered during the year numbered
1,277, of which 620 were males and
657 females, producing a birth-rate equal to 22.8 per
1,000 persons living during the year. This is slightly
below that of the previous year.
Deaths and
Death-rate.
During the year, 617 deaths were recorded as
occurring in the district, of which 297 were
males and 320 females, giving an uncorrected death-rate
of 11.0 per 1,000.
To arrive at the corrected death-rate, the deaths of
non-parishioners occurring within the district, viz.—37
must be excluded; and those of parishioners outside, viz.—
93, included, producing a total of 673, and a rate of 12.0
per 1,000.
