Report of the Medical Officer of Health for 1934.

Deaths.
The number of deaths which took place in the Borough
during the year was 3,185, but 1,146 of these did not belong to
the Borough, while 1,822 Borough residents died outside the
Borough.
The corrected number of deaths for the Borough, after
allowing for these factors, was 3,861 of whom 1,842 were males
and 2,019 females.
The crude death-rate for the year was 1118 compared with
11.49 in 1933, but after correction has been made by means of a
comparability factor devised by the Registrar-General, the
corrected death-rate was 10.39.
The death-rate for the whole of London for 1934 was 11.9,
for England and Wales 11.8, in the 121 County Boroughs and
great Towns 11.8, and in the 135 smaller Towns 11.3.
Table IV. shows the total number of corrected deaths and
the death-rates for each sub-district and for the whole
Borough.
