Deaths and Death-Rate.
During 1913, 1,833 deaths were registered in the
borough, but of these 212 were of persons not belonging
to the borough, while 407 inhabitants of Fulham died
outside the borough, chiefly in various public institutions.
There were, therefore, 2,128 deaths of persons (1,048
males and 980 females) having their usual residence in
Fulham, representing an annual rate of 12.7 per 1,000
of the estimated population; the death-rate of males
being 13.9, and of females 11.5. With the exception of
that of 1910, which was 12.5 per 1,000, this is the lowest
rate recorded in Fulham, and is 1.6 per 1,000 below the
mean rate of the preceding ten years. The death-rate
of the County of London was 14.3, and of the Metropolitan
boroughs only three had lower rates than
Fulham, viz., Lewisham 10.8, Wandsworth 10.8 and
Hampstead 10.9, while the highest rates were 18.0 in
Bermondsey, 18.5 in Finsbury and 18.8 in Shoreditch.
In the following table the mortality of Fulham can be
compared with that of the adjoining boroughs and of
other groups of areas.
