I.—VITAL STATISTICS.
All the estimated populations are calculated upon the
enumerated populations of the Censuses of 1891 and 1896,
and made up to the middle of the year 1897.
The Parish of Lambeth contains 4059 statute acres,
inclusive of 79 tidal water and 39 foreshore, with an
estimated population of 300,048 persons to the middle of
the year 1897, consisting of 141,724 males and 158,324
females, or an excess of 16,600 females.
The total estimated increase of the population is 3,987,
but the " natural increment," i.e., the excess of births over
deaths, is 4,137, so that an exodus of 150 in excess of those
who came into the Parish during the year must be assumed.
