SUMMARY OF STATISTICS, 1965.
The following statistical information relating to the Borough has been compiled 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.
