DEATHS: Mortality.
During the year the deaths registered in the Borough numbered 1,892, comprising 949 of
males, 942 of females, and one of a child whose sex could not be determined. In order to avoid
a separate classification, the latter death will be included with those of males. The crude*
mortality rate was 13.31 per 1,000 persons of all ages, being 1.02 below the rate for 1913 (14.33)
and 0.98 below the average rate for the five years 1909-13. The average rate for the quinquennium
1904-08 was 14.95. (See Table I., Appendix.)
The crude and partially corrected rates for each quarter of the year are given below.

The fully corrected number of deaths for the year was 1,895, 923 of males and 972 of
females, the "corrected" mortality being 13.33 per 1,000 persons of all ages, 0.35 lower than

* "Crude" mortality rates have been calculated on the deaths registered within the Borough.
"Partially corrected" rates, on numbers obtained by deducting the deaths of non-residents recorded within
the Borough and adding the deaths (reported weekly) of residents of the Borough occurring in other parts of the
Metropolis; and
"Corrected" rates, on the numbers obtained by adding the deaths of residents of the Borough in other parts
of England and Wales, such deaths being reported quarterly.
"Standardised" rates are "corrected" rates multiplied by "standardising factors" to make the adjustments
necessary for variations in the sex-age compositions of the populations of the various districts referred to. These
last have on former occasions been designated "corrected" rates, and those now called "corrected" rates, "nett."
