During the six quinquennia 1891-1895 (Parish), 1896-1900
(Parish), 1901-1905 (Borough), 1906-1910 (Borough), 1911-1915
(Borough), and 1916-1920 (Borough), the yearly averages of total
deaths from (a) pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption (phthisis),
and (b) tuberculosis (all forms) were (a) 478 8, 496 8, 462.8, 421.6,
386-8 and 367.6, and (b) 675.0, 690 0, 647.4, 567.4, 500 0, and 472.4
respectively, representing a steady decline in the total number of
tuberculosis corrected deaths registered during that period of 30 years,
and this decline has continued since, i.e., during 1921, 1922, 1923 and
1924, viz.:—(a) pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption (phthisis) and
(b) tuberculosis (all forms) as follows:—(a) 275, 302, 264 and 279,
and (b) 342, 371, 329 and 358, respectively. This is the more remarkable,
having regard to the increase of the censal (enumerated) populations
during that time from 278,393 in 1891 to 301,895 in 1901,
298,058 in 1911 and 302,960 in 1921, and the estimated populations
for 1921, 1922, 1923 and 1924 of 305,700, 307,000, 308,500 and
309,300 respectively.
*† In calculating the death rates for the Registration Sub-Districts (Inner and
Outer), the deaths registered in Stockwell Sub-District are divided equally between
Tnner and Outer Stockwell, as has been done in previous Reports.
