Births and Birth-rate.—The births registered in the Borough
of Hackney during the year 1922 numbered 5,270, of which 2,713
were males and 2,557 females. The total shows a decrease of
167 compared with the number registered during 1921, but of
these a certain number must be transferred to other districts,
and certain births, which occurred in out-lying districts, must be
transferred to Hackney in order to get an accurate birth-rate for
the Borough. The Registrar-General has supplied the number of
these transferable births, viz., 809 births to be transferred to
other districts and 282 to Hackney. After these necessary corrections
have been made, the correct total of registered births
amongst Hackney residents is 4,743. From this figure the birthrate
for Hackney during 1922 has been calculated to be 21.0 per
1,000 of the population. The birth-rate for all London for the
same period is 21.0 per 1,000 of the population.
