Deaths.—The deaths registered in the Borough during 1919
numbered 2,990; but of these 673 were deaths of non-residents
who died inside the Borough. There were, however, 530 residents
of Hackney who died during the year outside the Borough. On
making the necessary corrections, the corrected number of deaths
amongst Hackney residents is 2,847. This is a decrease of 861
upon the number of deaths occurring during 1918. The general
death-rate from all causes for the year 1919 is 13.0 per 1,000 of
the population.
Amongst the Registration Sub-districts the death-rate was lowest in the Central Sub-districts (10.9 per 1,000), and highest in the South-west Sub-district (14.2 per 1,000).
