When compared with the neighbouring districts, the attack-rate of the
borough is not unsatisfactory, for in St. Pancras it was 5.53, Finsbury 5.85, in
Hackney 5.87, and in Shoreditch 6.40. As might have been expected, the rate
was lower in the residential boroughs of Hornsey and Stoke Newington, where it
was respectively 4.33 and 3.31 per 1000 inhabitants.
