Notes.—This Table is arranged to show the gross births and deaths in the
Borough, and the births and deaths properly belonging to it with the corresponding
rates. The rates are calculated per 1,000 of the estimated gross
population, and no deductions have been made from the population for large
Public Institutions for the sick or infirm.
For Column 4 the Registrar-General has furnished a statement of the number
of births needing to be added to or substracted from the total supplied by the
local Registrar (2,405 outward and 639 inward transfers).
* In Column 6 is included the whole of the deaths registered during the
year as having actually occurred within the Borough. In Column 12 is entered
the number in Column 6, corrected by subtraction of the number in Column 8
and by addition of the number in Column 9. Deaths in Column 10 are similarly
corrected by subtraction of the deaths under 1, included in the number given
in Column 8, and by the addition of the deaths under 1 included in the number
given in Column 9.
† Columns 8 and 9 are prepared from the returns made by the local Registrars
of Deaths in accordance with the rule in the next paragraph.
"Transferable Deaths" are deaths of persons who, having a fixed or usual
residence in England or Wales, die in a district other than that in which they
resided. The deaths of persons without fixed or usual residence, e.g., casuals,
are not included in Columns 8 or 9 except in certain instances. In Column 8
the number of transferable deaths of "non-residents" which are deducted, and
in Column 9 the number of deaths of "residents" registered outside the district
which are added are stated in calculating the net death-rate of the Borough.
Area of Borough in acres (including land and inland water), 4,083.
Census, Average number of persons per separate dwelling, 6.05.
1931 Number of structurally separate dwellings, 48,873.
Total population at all ages, 296,147.
