This is equal to an average yearly increase of 2,464, so that
the increase (1,575) for the twelve months 1908-1909 is considerably
below the average yearly increase of the last 8 years.
The "natural increase" of population during 1909, i.e.,
excess of births over deaths, was 721.
As the actual increase was 1,575, a little less than one half
the actual increase of population is attributable to "natural
growth" of the 1908 population and a little more than half is due
to immigration, so that the Borough has gained 734 new residents
from outside during the year.

The chief increase has been in Muswell Hill, 602 out of a net
increase for the whole Borough of 1,575.
Highgate and West Hornsey have grown at about the same
rate as during the previous year.
South Haringey and East Hornsey have considerable increases
to set against losses in the previous twelve months.
In Crouch End the increase is considerably larger than in the
preceding year, and Finsbury Park maintains an even rate of
growth.
