Whether the corrected or uncorrected death-rates for the
Borough of Lambeth (as a whole) be taken, they are very satisfactory
for the year 1905, the fifth year of existence of the
newly-formed Borough. Sub-dividing the death-rates amongst
the several Registration Sub-Districts, it will be again noted that
the Inner Districts, e.g., Waterloo, Lambeth Church 1st and 2nd,,
have, collectively and individually, suffered more than the Outer
Districts, e.g., Kennington 1st and 2nd, Brixton and Norwood.
So, too, if the death-rates be sub-divided amongst the 9 new
Wards, it will be noted also that the Inner Wards, e.g., Marsh,
Bishop's, Prince's, and Vauxhall, have collectively and individually,
suffered more than the Outer Wards, e.g., Stockwell,,
Brixton, Heme Hill, Tulse Hill, and Norwood. The reason for
this difference is the fact that the Inner Districts and Wards
are more congested than the Outer. The status of the inhabitants
and the general conditions (sanitary and otherwise) under which
they live, are also matters to bear in mind when dealing with this
subject.
Taking the Registration Sub-Districts (Table E), and the
new Wards (Table F), into which the Borough is sut-divided,
the corrected death-rates for 1905 will be found to vary between
the Inner aud the Outer Districts as follows :—
