Natural
Increase.
The excess of births over deaths represents
the rate of natural increase which is 13.7 per
1,000 of the population.
Deaths and
Death.rate
During the year 1890, 495 deaths were
registered in this sub.district, 12 of these
deaths occurred in St. Anne's Home, Streatham. The
deceased were parishioners of St. Pancras, when these
are excluded the proper death.rate for Streatham is 11.5
per 1,000 of the population. This exceeds the very low
death.rate of 1889, but is considerably below the average
of the previous ten years, the decennial average being
12.8 per 1,000. I may here remark that the death.rate
has declined during the last years, notwithstanding
the increased density of the population.
When to the deaths proper to Streatham are added
the 12 deaths which occurred in St. Anne's Home and
those of persons who died in various out.lying general
and special hospitals, the death.rate becomes 13.2 per
1,000.
