THE DEATH-RATE.
The total number of deaths registered during the
year 1912 is 4,189, as compared with yearly averages of
5,669.5 and 4,971.5 respectively during the two decennia
1891-1900 and 1901-1910. Of the total 4,189 deaths registered
during 1912, 2,161 are males and 2,028 females.
The uncorrected death-rate for Lambeth is, therefore,
14.1 per 1,000 inhabitants (15.2 males and 13.0 females).
These rates, are, however, uncorrected, and, on analysing
the 4,189 deaths registered in the Borough, it is
found that 823 represent deaths occurring within
the Borough amongst persons not belonging thereto. These
deaths are to be deducted, but, on the other hand, there
are 559 deaths registered outside the Borough of persons
belonging thereto, and these must be added, giving a
corrected number of deaths for Lambeth during 1912 of
3,925, and a corrected death-rate of 13.2 per 1,000 inhabitants.
