The fourth section dealing with the housing of private
households is of especial interest to the Health Department and
I append some particulars relating to the population of the
Borough based upon a \% sample of the forms returned during
the Census: —
The number of separate households residing in the Borough
is approximately 38,300.
The average number of persons per household is approximately
2.87. (In 1931 it was 3.43.)
58% of the households occupy shared dwellings, i.e., dwellings
which do not have a separate entrance from the
street or from a common passage or stairway.
