ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH
For 1913.
Section I.-STATISTICAL.
POPULATION OF CHELSEA.
The estimated population of the Borough for the middle of the year
1913 is 66,400. From 1901 to 1911 the population decreased from 73,842
in 1901 to 66,385 in 1911, according to the censuses of those years. It
has been asumed that a corresponding decrease ensued in 1912 ; but, in
1913, owing to the opening of the new Sutton Trust Dwellings in Cale
Street, and to the new houses being erected aud occupied on the Vale
Estate and elsewhere, it would appear that the population of Chelsea is
again on the increase. The increase for 1913 may be taken approximately
as 1,000 over 1912, so that the population of the Borough is estimated at
66,400 for the past year.

The above Table relates to births registered in the Borough.
Excluding 13 births of non-parishioners, and including 53 births taking
place amongst Chelsea mothers in Lying-in Hospitals and Homes outside
the Borough, the total number of births for the year is 1,210, exactly the
same figure as in 1912.
