[1919
DEATHS.
The deaths numbered 4,640, while the death-rate was equal to 14.09 per
1,000 of the population or 6.31 lower than that of the preceding year (20.40),
and was 1.58 less than the average of the previous 10 years.
The death-rate of 14.09 per 1,000 of the population was lower than any
rate entered in the Borough since 1910; and, indeed, only two death-rates
since the registration of deaths in 1838 in any year, were below it. It is most
satisfactory to be able to congratulate ourselves on this low death-rate after
so devastating a war.
The death-rates for each year in Islington since 1841, are given in Table D
in the Appendix.
