upon the censuses of 1901 and 1911 with the exception of the populations
for 1915, which were calculated by the Registrar General on
the returns furnished under the National Registration Act, 1915.
The following estimates of population have been adopted in the General
Register Office, Somerset House, for the calculation of the death rate and
birth rate of the Borough for the year 1916:
For the death rate 155,095
„ „ birth „ 168,746
The Superintendent of Statistics states that the former is an estimate
of the civilian population; the latter of the total population based on the
assumption that the ratio between the total and the civilian population is
the same in the Borough as in England and Wales as a whole. With a
view to approximation to the population amongst which the births have
occurred, the total population of England and Wales for this purpose has
been calculated by adding to the published estimate for 1914 the natural
increase up to the middle of the year 1916.
