I. VITAL STATISTICS.
The Borough of Lambeth contains 4079.6 statute acres,
exclusive of 82.1 tidal water, 0.8 inland water, and 31.8
foreshore, with an estimated total population of 321344
persons to the middle of 1908 consisting of 152159 males
and 169185 females, or an excess of 17026 females.
The total estimated increase (1907-1908) of the population
is 2806, but the "natural increment," i.e., the excess of births
over deaths (uncorrected) is 4214, so that an exodus of 1408
in excess of those who came into the Borough during 1908
must be assumed.
The estimated, Populations of the Borough of Lambeth
to the middle of 1908 may be tabulated as follow:—
