Rates per 1,000 individuals each age-group. Means—for five years 1901-05.
For the purpose of comparison with other districts, the numbers given in the Quarterly
Reports of the Registrar-General have been used in Table 10. The rate for the Borough
(12.49) is a trifle higher than that derived from the departmental total, but is, with the
exception of the rates of Hampstead (9.41) and Willesden (10.61), the lowest in the table.
The rates in the last-mentioned table take no account of the differences in the sex-age
compositions of the populations. In Table 11 will be found the fully corrected rates for the
Borough, its Wards and the other districts. In Church Ward only was last year's corrected
rate (18.85) above the standard (17.03). Last year's rate for Hyde Park Ward (13.67) is the
only one in excess of its quinquennial mean (12.74).
Information as to the numbers of deaths in institutions, both local and outlying, will be
found in Tables III. and IIIa. in the Appendix. In Tables IV. and V. (Appendix) the nett
numbers of deaths from the different diseases have been set out.
