Comparing Greenwich with the other Metropolitan Boroughs
according to their corrected Death Rate, which is the fairest
method of comparison, shows that Greenwich has the lowest
Death Rate but four amongst the 29 Metropolitan Boroughs.
The four Boroughs having a better Death Rate than Greenwich
being Hampstead, Lewisham, Stoke Newington and Wandsworth.
Full particulars of all the Boroughs are to be found in the table in
Appendix. The Infantile Mortality Rate, measured by the number
of deaths under one year to 1,000 births registered, was 142, or an
increase of 14 per 1,000 in the Borough, as compared with the figure
for 1903, comparing with 144, the figure for London as a whole, and
with 134, the Borough average during the last 4 years. The
Zymotic Death Rate of 2.23 per 1,000, is slightly above
the County average, viz., 2.18 per 1,000, and is 0.54 per 1,000
above the corresponding figure for last year.
