5160 deaths, 2711 were males and 2449 females, showing an
excess of 262 males.
The death-rate for Lambeth is, therefore, 16.6 per 1000 inhabitants
(18.5 for males and 14.9 for females), as compared with
16.6 for London (18.3 for males and 15.2 for females). These
rates are, however, uncorrected, and, on analysing the 5160
deaths registered in the Borough of Lambeth, it is found that 740
represent deaths occurring within the Borough amongst
persons not belonging thereto. These deaths are to be deducted,
but, on the other hand, there are 400 deaths registered outside the
Borough of persons belonging thereto, and these must be added,
giving a corrected number of deaths for Lambeth during 1904, of
4880, and a corrected death-rate of 15.7 per 1000 inhabitants, as
compared with 16.1 for London (the total corrected number of
London deaths being 74,555).
