Whether we take the corrected or uncorrected death-rate
for Lambeth, it is highly satisfactory for the year 1896, being
2.3 or 2.4 per 1,000 less than during the previous year;
whilst on examining the death-rate more closely, we shall
find cause for even greater satisfaction and congratulation.
Table D gives the corrected death-rates during 1896 in the
several Registration Sub-districts, with the corresponding
birth-rates, and the corrected zymotic death-rates. The
mean average death-rate for the four Inner Districts is
218, and for the four Outer 15 05 per 1,000, with corresponding
average birth-rates of 44 36 and 27.52 per 1,000
respectively (allowing for the fact that the Lying-in
Hospital and the Workhouse are in two of the Inner
Districts).
The zymotic death-rate is, for the Inner Districts, 325,
and for the Outer Districts, 2 03 per 1,000, and the zymotic
incidence (cases notified) 10 4 and 9.2 per 1,000 respectively.
Reference to Tables G, S and T will shew that the Inner
Districts have a larger comparative mortality in children
under five years of age, and amongst infants under one
year of age (per 1,000 births), but a smaller comparative
mortality in persons over 60 years of age. The Phthisis,
Tubercular, Diarrhcea and Typhoid death-rates are all higher
in the Inner than in the Outer Districts.
