Births and Birth Rate.
The number of live births registered in the Borough during
1937 was 3,441. To this number it is necessary to add 613 children
born to Camberwell mothers at addresses outside the Borough,
and to deduct 889 births of non-residents confined in the Borough
to obtain the correct number of births among the resident population
of Camberwell. The corrected total of 3,165 births thus obtained
shows a decrease of 29 as compared with the number registered
in 1936. The birth rate for the year was 14.08 per 1,000 of the
estimated population.
