Population.—The total population .of the Borough at the
middle of 1919 is estimated by the Registrar-General at 98,283,
and the Civil population at 94,348. The latter figure is used for
the calculation of the civilian death-rate, and the former figure
for the calculation of the birth-rate.
These estimates of the population are based on the assumption
that the ratio between total and civilian populations is the
same in Hornsey as in England and Wales as a whole.
