Table IV.—Re-distribution of Deaths among the Sub-Districts of Camberwell.
| District. | Deaths returned classified according to sub-districts. | Deaths of persons removed from Unknown addresses in the Borough re-distributed. | Estimates of total deaths due to subdistricts. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dulwich | 180 | 3 | 183 |
| Camberwell, South | 444 | 7 | 451 |
| Camberwell, North | 866 | 16 | 882 |
| Peckham, South | 532 | 9 | 541 |
| Peckham, North | 688 | 12 | 700 |
| St. George's | 625 | 11 | 636 |
| Total | 3,335 | 58 | 3,393 |
The death-rate for the Borough is thus 12·8, calculated on our
estimate of the population. The Registrar-General in his annual
summary gives the crude death rate as 12.9, which when corrected
for difference of sex and age constitution comes out at 12·7.
