(In conjunction with Mr. W.C. Bartlett, Chief Public Health Inspector).

The County of London Report giving certain detailed information which was incorporated in the 1961 Census was published in the early part of 1963, and provides valuable information relevant to the social and housing circumstances of the population in the Borough. Because of its housing significance, certain extracts are included here:

	Private households	Population in private households	Structurally separate dwellings occupied	Rooms occupied	Persons per room	Percentage of persons at more than 1½ per room

It will be noted from the above table that the percentage of persons in Islington
at an average density of more than 1& per room is a little more than 50% above the
corresponding percentage for the County of London as a whole., It is also significant that
of the 11 Islington Wards, in not a single Ward is the density less than the County
figure. On this basis the St. Mary, Canonbury, and St. Peter Wards are the least densely
occupied in Islington and the Lower Holloway and Thornhill Wards have the highest density
figures, double the London average.
