Deaths.—The deaths registered in the Borough during 1922
numbered 3,098; but of these 678 were deaths of non-residents
who died inside the Borough. There were, however, 459 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 2,879. This is an increase of 299
upon the number of deaths occurring during 19214. The general
death-rate from all causes for the year 1922 is 12.7 per 1,000 of
the population=.
Amongst the Registration Sub-districts the death-rate was lowest in the Central Sub-district (11.9 per 1,000), the highest in the South-east and South-west Sub-districts (13.1 per 1,000).
