For the purpose of comparing the local death-rate with those prevailing in London and
the districts adjacent to the Borough, Table 14 has been compiled. The most usual comparison
to make is that of the nett rates (columns 1 and 2 of the Table). It will be seen that
the Borough rate in 1902 (14.63) was lower than any of the rates in the four first districts
selected for comparison, but above those in Hampstead (10.79) and Willesden (13.5). The
increase in the rate for last year compared with the rate for 1901 (0.30) was higher than the
corresponding increases in other districts, except Marvlebone (1.70) and Willesden (1.10).
The foregoing comparison makes no allowance for the differences in sex-age-constitutions of
the various populations. The Medical Officer of Health of the Countv has published factors
based on the last census which enables the proper corrections for such differences to be made
