Deaths.
The total nett deaths during 1933 numbered 994, as compared
with 1,043 in the preceding year. These 994 nett deaths represent a
"recorded" death rate of 11.0 per 1,000 of the population. This
"recorded" death rate is the rate obtained by deducting from the
total deaths registered in Hampstead the number who were nonresident
persons, and, after subtracting these, adding the number of
deaths of Hampstead residents who died outside the Borough.
The following are the statistics for each of the Wards and the Borough :—
| No. of Deaths. | Death Rate. | |

| No. 1 (Town) Ward | 151 | 11.9 |
