DEATHS, 1924.
The total number of deaths registered is 4,198.
All death rates for 1924 are calculated upon an estimated population
of 309,300 (to the middle of the year).
1.—General Death-Rates.
The uncorrected death-rate for Lambeth is 13-5 per 1,000 of the
population. This rate is, however, uncorrected, and, on analysing the
4,198 total deaths registered, it is found that 976 represent deaths
occurring within the Borough amongst persons not belonging thereto.
These deaths are to be deducted, but, on the other hand, there are
643 deaths registered outside the Borough of persons belonging
thereto, and these must be added, giving a net corrected number of
deaths of 3,865, and a net corrected death-rate of 12-5 per 1,000
inhabitants. The Inner (congested and crowded) Districts show, as a
whole, a general corrected death-rate of 13-5 as compared with ii48
for the Outer (less congested and less crowded) Districts per 1,000 of
the population.
