Population.
The estimated mean population of 1898, is
7,915, having regard, however, to the
ingly large amount of building now being carried out,
this is probably far below the actual figure.
Births & Birth
Rate.
The births registered during the year numbered
251, of which 123 were males and
131 females. This is by far the largest number of
births registered in the sub-district since its separate
existence as a sanitary district. The birth-rate is equal
to 32.1 per 1,090 of the population.
Deaths & Death
Rate.
During the year under report, 294 deaths
were registered in the sub-district. Of these,
159 were males and 135 females.
Considering the large number of non-parishioners
dying in the sub-district, an uncorrected death-rate is
absolutely valueless.
