VITAL AND MORTAL STATISTICS, 1905.
POPULATION.
The number of persons estimated to be living at the middle
of the year is 103,493. This estimate is an increase of 1,842
upon the corresponding figure of last year. The natural increase
of the population during the year, or the excess of the number of
births over the number of deaths, is 1,308, which therefore allows
534 as the balance of immigrants over emigrants.
This estimated population is calculated on the lines indicated
in the Annual Report for 1903, the Constant for the year 1905
being 1.0026687.
The distribution of the population throughout the Borough is as follows:—
| Census estimation, 1901. | Estimated Population at middle of year 1905. | |
|---|---|---|
| East Greenwich | 43,859 | 47,396 |
| West Greenwich | 23,456 | 25,347 |
| St. Nicholas | 7,321 | 7,912 |
| Charlton | 18,065 | 19,514 |
| Kidbrooke | 3,069 | 3,324 |
| Total | 95,770 | 103,493 |
