DEATHS.
The number of deaths registered in the Borough during 1936
was 2,869. Of these, 1,365 were deaths of non-residents and were
transferred to the districts in which the persons ordinarily resided.
There were on the other hand, 396 deaths of Battersea residents
registered outside the Borough. The total (corrected) number of
deaths belonging to the Borough was 1,900 (males 947, females
953). This gives a recorded death-rate of 13.06 compared with
12.3 for London, and 12.1 for England and Wales.
The Registrar-General has supplied a factor for the purpose of
rendering the death-rate of the Borough comparable with that of
a district the population of which is of standard age and sex distribution.
For the year 1936 this factor is 0.99, and the adjusted
death-rate for the purpose of such comparison is therefore 12.93.
The distribution of the deaths and the death-rate per 1,000
inhabitants for each of the sub-districts and the nine wards is
shown in the table on page 9.
