* Based on Registrar-General's Quarterly Returns. † Identical with Queen's Park Ward.
In the Adjacent Districts greater departures (diminutions) from the standard rates are to
be noted in Hampstead and Willesden, but in both these districts much of the land is yet
unbuilt on. Of the fully covered districts, none show reductions equal to that of the
Borough—indeed, in Westminster there is an increase—corrected rate 15.82, standard 15.46.
In all the districts last year's rates were below the four years' mean rates, varying from 1.63.
in Westminster to 0.53 in Willesden.
In Table 14 the mortality rates for each sex in six age-groups are compared with
the mean rates for the past four years. As the data are for such a limited period, a minute
criticism would be futile. It will suffice to call attention to the fact of higher rates being
recorded in the following Wards for the sex—age groups specified:—
Age-Groups.
Ward. Males. Females.
Queen's Park 0-, 15- 15-, 25-, 65-
Harrow Road 15-, 65- 0-, 1-, 15-, 25-, 65-
