PART 1
STATISTICS AND TABLES
The following statistical information relating to the Borough has been
completed from the Local and National Statistics issued by the Registrar-General
in connection with population, live births, stillbirths and deaths.
The "area comparability" factors for use with crude birth and death rates
contain adjustments for boundary changes and make allowances for the way in
which the sex and age distribution of the local population differs from that for
England and Wales as a whole. In addition, the death rate "area comparability"
factors have been adjusted specifically to take account of the presence of any
residential institutions in each area. When local crude birth and death rates are
multiplied by the appropriate "area comparability" factor, they are comparable
with the crude rate for England and Wales or with the corresponding adjusted rate
for any other area.
