Deaths.
1,835 deaths were registered in the City in the 52 weeks of 1925.
After deducting 987 deaths of non-citizens in public institutions, etc., in
the City, and adding those of 880 citizens who died in other districts,
the corrected total is 1,728, as compared with 1,695 in 1924, and is
equivalent to an annual rate of 12.3 per 1,000 persons (civilian
population).
The London death-rate for 1925 was 11.7 (civilians only), for England
and Wales 12.2. These rates are a little lower than 1924 as regards
London, but a little higher for Westminster. The figure is constant
for England and Wales. The number of deaths and the death-rates
per 1,000 for the past fifteen years are shown below:—
