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 1898.
The Parish of Lambeth contains 4,059 statute acres,
inclusive of 79 tidal water and 39 foreshore, with an
estimated population of 304,073 persons to the middle of
the year 1898, consisting of 143,625 males and 160,448
females, or an excess of 16,823 females.
The total estimated increase of the population is 4,025,
but the " natural increment," i.e., the excess of births over
deaths, is 3,826, so that an exodus of 199 in excess of those
who came into the Parish during the year must be assumed.
