District.

Deaths. The total number of deaths registered was
3,142, 1,544 of males and 1,598 of females,
compared with a total of 3,131 in 1899, and 2,855
in 1898.
The uncorrected death-rate was 14.22 compared
with 15.06 last year, and 13.83 the average of the 10
years preceding.
To ascertain the true death-rate, the number of
deaths in external institutions has to be added, and
those in internal institutions of persons not belonging to
the district have to be subtracted.
This gives a total of 1,383 deaths, compared with
3,198, in 1899.
The corrected death-rate was 14.67, compared with
15.39 in 1899, 14.53 in 1898, and 13.22 in 1897.
Table II, shows the rates for each sub-district
separately and also for the whole district, corrected for
external and internal institutions, and also the uncorrected
rates.
The death-rate for the whole of London for the year
was 18.3 per 1,000 for the 33 great towns 19.5, and for
England and Wales 18.3.
The death-rate for this district is thus seen to be no
less than 3.63 per 1,000, under the death-rate for the
Metropolis and for England and Wales partially.
Even after correction for age and sex distribution,
the death-rate for this district is only 15.66 per 1,000,
or 2.64 below the rate for the Metropolis, and for
England and Wales.
