TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
of the
VESTRY OF ST. JAMES, WESTMINSTER.
Reverend Sir and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit the following Report
upon the Public Health of the Parish of St. James,
Westminster, for the year 1892.
The figures given by the Census of 1891 showed that
since the Census of 1881, the resident population in St.
James's had fallen from 29,941 to 24,993—a reduction of
nearly 5,000, i.e., one-sixth of the entire resident population
of St. James's had disappeared during the Decennium
1881-1891.
The District of the Parish of St. James's covers an area
of 162 acres, and, taking the population at 24,993, it would
contain 154 22 persons per acre against 184 per acre in 1881.
The mean density of the population in Registration
London, by the Census of 1891, was 56.5 persons per acre.
