population. The census of 1896, showed that the
population of Tooting in April Avas 7,307, and that an
increase equal to 304 per annum had taken place during
the intercensal period. The estimated population for
the middle of the year is 7382, and upon this will be
based the following vital statistics.
There were 190 births registered during the
year, of which 102 were males and 88
females, producing a birth-rate of 25.7 per 1,000 of the
population.
365 deaths were registered during the year,
171 of males and 194 of females, producing an
uncorrected death-rate of 49.4 per 1,000. Of these, however,
282 were non-parishioners. By the exclusion of this
number from the statistics, and the addition of 22 deaths
of parishioners occurring outside the district, a corrected
total of 105 is produced, and a death-rate equal to 142
per 1,000, the lowest recorded daring the past seven
years.
