STATISTICS AND TABLES
The following statistical information relating to the Borough has been
compiled from the Local and National Statistics issued by the RegistrarGeneral
in connection with population, live births, stillbirths and deaths.
The "area comparability" factors for use with crude births 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.
