DEATHS AND DEATH-RATE.
The deaths registered in the borough during 1911
numbered 2,019, 1,012 males and 1,007 females, but of
these 169, 87 males and 82 females, were of persons not
belonging to the borough who died within it, while the
deaths of 378 residents in Fulham, 229 males and 149
females, occurred outside the borough, chiefly in various
public institutions. There were therefore 2,228 deaths
of persons belonging to Fulham, 1,154 males and 1,074
females, representing an annual rate of 14.5 per 1,000
of the enumerated population—the rate for males being
15.9 and for females 13.3. This is the highest deathrate
recorded since 1906 and is 0.6 per 1,000 above the
average rate of the past five years.
The rates in the several metropolitan boroughs ranged
from 9.6 in Hampstead, 11.3 in Lewisham, and 12,0 in
Wandsworth to 18.9 in Poplar, 19.8 in Finsbury, and
20.1 in Shoreditch, and in the following table the
mortality of Fulham may be compared with those of the
metropolis, the adjoining boroughs and the provincial
towns:—
