In Table VI. I have tabulated the actual number of overcrowded tenements,
distinguishing the number of rooms as well as the number of persons living in
them. This Table, which exhibits the extraordinary variations that occur in
the several areas with respect to the character of the tenements, is worthy of
careful study, for in some it is seen that one-room tenements are the most
numerous, in others that two-room tenements are most numerous, and so on.
Indeed, it is a good index also of the circumstances of the inhabitants, for
the poorer they are the fewer rooms they occupy.
