The following table gives the number of registered births, birth-rates, etc., for the Sub-districts in the Borough:—
Registration District of Hackney | Registration Sub-district | All London | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
North | Central | South-west | South-East | |||
— | — | — | — | — | ||
— | — | — | — | — |
It will be noticed that the birth-rate is abnormally high in
the Central District compared with other Registration Sub-districts.
This is accounted for by reason of 1,075 births occurring during the
year at the Salvation Army Mothers' Hospital, which Institution
is situate in the Central District. Of this number 734 births are
transferable to districts outside Hackney.
The following table shows the birth-rates for the Borough and
its Sub-districts during the years 1909-1919 inclusive:—
Year | Borough of Hackney | North Sub-District | Central Sub-District | South-West Sub-District | South-East Sub-District | London |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
*The Salvation Army's Mothers' Hospital was opened in 1913.
