TABLE A.
| 1912. | 1913. | |
|---|---|---|
| Estimated population in the middle of the year | 127,895 | 127,824 |
| Total Births | 3,904 | 4,008 |
| Total Deaths | 1,957 | 2,011 |
| Excess of births over deaths, shewing the natural increase of the population | 1,947 | 1,997 |
The particulars in the following table are taken from
the recently published 1911 census report. The table will
be read with interest, as it indicates the nationality of the
population in London and in the group of Eastern
Boroughs. An inspection of the table will shew that
although our proportion of aliens to total population is
double that of the whole of London, yet it is only one-third
of that of Stepney.
