Whether the corrected or uncorrected death.rates for the
Borough of Lambeth (as a whole) be taken, they are satisfactory
for the year 1910 (the tenth year of the existence of
the newly.formed Borough.) Sub.dividing the death rates,
it is again shewn that the Inner Districts (Waterloo, Lambeth
Church, Kennington and part of Stockwell) have,
collectively and individually, suffered more than the Outer
Districts, e.g., part of Stockwell, Brixton and Norwood.
So, too, if the death.rates be sub.divided amongst the 9 new
Wards, it will be noted also that the Inner Wards, e.g.,
Marsh, Bishop's, Prince's and Vauxhall, have, collectively
and individually, suffered more than the Outer Wards, e.g.,
Stockwell, Brixton, Herne Hill, Tulse Hill, and Norwood.
The reason for this difference is again to be noted in the fact
that the Inner Districts and Wards are more congested than
the Outer. The status of the inhabitants and the general
conditions (sanitary and otherwise) under which they live
are also matters to bear in mind when dealing with this
subject.
