Report of the Medical Officer of Health. 3
The corrected population in Table II. is used to calculate
all the rates in this Report.
The total population of the Institutions in the Borough was
in 1911, 7,855, but as a large proportion of the inmates of the
Tooting Home and the Metropolitan Asylums Board's Hospital
belong to the Borough, a deduction of 5,108 from the uncorrected
population gives the corrected population, viz.—321,340, compared
with 313,961 in the previous year.
Tables Nos. III. to VII. have been extracted from the Census
Returns published during the year, and are included in this Report
as they may prove of some value to those interested in the welfare
of the Borough.
Table III. shows the general classification of buildings, those
used as dwellings and those not so used, as also the number inhabited
and non-inhabited.
The number of inhabited houses increased from 37,743 in 1901
to 48,432 in 1911, and the number of separate occupiers from
49,731 to 70,155. The number of uninhabited dwellings in 1901
was 2,247, and in 1911. 2,910, and the number building in 1901 was
1179, and in 1911 only 377.
