Population.
According to the method adopted by the
Registrar-General, the estimated population of this subdistrict
in the middle of 1895 amounted to 57,863, an
increase of 2,688 as compared with 1894. The population
of Institutions in the sub-district, amounting in 1891
to 3,511, must be deducted to find the corrected population,
viz., 54,172.
Another method of estimating the population is to
multiply the number of inhabited houses in 1895 (viz.,
8,947) by the average number of persons per house as at
the census of 1891, which was 5*9. This gives a corrected
population of 53,055, or 1,117 less than the
population estimated by the method adopted by the
Registrar-General.
The estimated population of the sub-district in
April, 1895, calculated for the London (Equalisation of
Rates) Act, 1894, was 53,873.
All the rates in this report are based on the population
estimated by the first method.
