The total number of deaths, therefore, amongst persons belonging
to Hampstead amounted to 823.
Table IV., page 118, affords all available information as to the
causes of deaths of persons belonging to the Borough.
The accompanying Chart shews the number of deaths of persons
resident in, or belonging to, the Borough, occurring during each week
of 1905.
Death Rate.
The crude death rate was 12'3 per 1000 of the population, but
after subtracting from the total registered deaths the deaths of nonresident
persons dying in Hampstead, and adding the deaths of Hampstead
residents who died outside the district, the recorded death rate
was 9·3 per 1000 of the population, as compared with the rate of 10·3
per 1000 of the population in 1904. The average rate for the 10 years
1895—1904, was 11·1. It is of interest to note that this is the lowest
rate ever recorded for Hampstead; the previous lowest being that of 9·8
in 1903.
