Battersea, it is found that 446 represent deaths occurring
within the Borough amongst persons not belonging thereto.
These deaths are to be deducted; but on the other hand, there
are 421 deaths registered outside the Borough, of Battersea
residents, and these must be added, giving a corrected number
of deaths for Battersea during 1907 of 2,406 (1,225 males and
1,181 females), an excess of 44 males, and a corrected deathrate
of 13.2 per 1,000 inhabitants, as compared with 14.6
for London (the total corrected number of London deaths being
69,268).
The death-rate for the Borough of Battersea as a whole is
very satisfactory, being, curiously enough, exactly the same
as the death-rate for 1906, which was the lowest death-rate
ever previously recorded in the Borough, and 2.4 per 1,000
below the average for the ten years 1897-1906.
Sub-dividing the death-rates amongst the three registration
sub-districts, it will be noted that in East and North-West
Battersea the rates are slightly higher than in 1906, while in
South-West Battersea the rate is lower. In the following table
the rates in the Borough and the sub-districts are compared
with those for the last ten years:—
