POPULATION.
The Registrar-General estimated the population of the Borough at the middle
of 1021 to have been 337,400. When compared with the previous year the
increase is found to number 800 persons.
In the Registration Year of 1924 there were 53 weeks, so that in order to
obtain the rates comparable with other years they are calculated on a population
the one-fifty-second part larger than the estimate. The last time there were 53
weeks in the registration year was in 1919.
Where, however, figures are given for the Calendar Year, the calculations
are based upon the estimated population of the Registrar-General (337,400).
The following tables give the distribution of the population of the several
sub-registration districts and wards, together with particulars of their areas and
densities.
