Poplar. Bromley.
(a) 58,126 69,759
(b) 58,727 71,290
It is curious to note how the estimated populations (b) differ from
the estimated populations (a) which last mentioned numbers are
based upon the figures of the enumerations of the years 1891 and
1896, and estimated as if the populations increased in the same ratio
per million of the metropolitan population for the year under observation.
As no insanitary spaces were cleared in the parish of Bromley
during the year 1897, it is more than probable that the estimated
population of this parish would be represented by the larger
figure.
