STATISTICS AND TABLES
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 births and deaths
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.
