Deaths.
The " recorded " death-rate is the rate obtained by calculating the
number of " net " deaths per 1000 of the population. From the total
deaths of civilians registered is deducted the number who were nonresident
persons, and, after subtracting these, the number of deaths of
civilian Hampstead residents who died outside the Borough is added.
The total net deaths during 1925 was 923 or 10.5 per 1000 of the
population, as compared with 1,029 in the preceding year. These deaths
were distributed among the various "Wards as follows:-No. 1 (Town)
139, No. 2 (Belsize) 137, No. 3 (Adelaide) 112, No. 4 (Central) 111,
No. 5 (West End) 148, No. 6 (Kilburn) 170, and No. 7 (Priory) 106.
