BIRTHS.
The total number of births registered in the Borough for the
52 weeks ended January 2nd, 1926, was 2,652, consisting of '1,336
males, and 1,316 females. This is 416 below the average for the
last 10 years, and 261 below the figure for 1924.
The birth rate for 1925 was 21.6 per thousand persons living,
which is 2.2 below that for 1924 and 3.3 below the average for the
last 10 years.
The birth rate is unusually low for Bermondsey, but the same
may be said of the death rate, and subtracting the latter from
the former, leaves us with a net increase of population of 9.0.
