The following table which is compiled by the Registrar-General shows at a glance the relative position occupied by Greenwich with other Boroughs in London:—
Borough. | Rate per 1000 population | Borough. | Rate per 1000 Population. |
---|---|---|---|
*Greenwich | |||
* This figure differs slightly from that shewn in
other parts of the Report owing to the figure being
based on a lower population.
Locally the Death Rate varied from 11.50 in Kidbrooke,
12-94 in East Greenwich, 13.32 in Charlton, 13.61 in West
Greenwich, up to 16.13 in St. Nicholas, Deptford.
Of the total number of deaths, 8 were of illegitimate birth,
all of whom were under one year of age.
