During the ten years April 1st, 1891, to March 31st, 1901, the inter-censal period, 31,794
deaths were registered in the borough.
Table A, Appendix II. (page 152) gives the number of deaths and the death-rate for each of
the forty-seven years 1856-1902.
Infantile Mortality, or the proportion of deaths under one year of age to registered
births, is an important factor in vital statistics. The deaths under one year, which in the three
preceding years had been 642, 641, and 581, respectively, were 515, or 505 after correction, in 1902,
being equivalent to 148 per 1,000 births, or 13 fewer than in 1901.
The rate in the Metropolis, always below that of Kensington, was 141 in each 1,000 births,
as compared with an average proportion of 159 per 1,000 in the ten preceding years.
The lowest rates in Metropolitan Boroughs were, Hampstead 87, St. Marylebone 107, Stoke
Newington 115 and Hackney 119; the highest, Finsbury, and Poplar 154, Bermondsey and Bethnal
Green 155, Southwark 166 and Shoreditch 174.
