COMPARATIVE MORTALITY OF THE SUB-DISTRICTS.
The preceding tables show that according to population the Somers Town SubDistrict
has the highest, and Kentish Town the lowest death-rates from all causes
at all ages, that Somers Town has the highest and Tottenham Court the lowest
death-rate from zymotic diseases, that Tottenham Court has the highest, very
closely followed by Somers Town, and Kentish Town the lowest death-rate from
tubercular diseases, that Somers Town has the highest and Regent's Park the
lowest death-rate from respiratory diseases. Again, according to population,
Somers Town has the lowest death-rate at 60 years of age and over, whereas it has
the highest death-rate at ft to 60 years, more markedly the highest under one year,
and most markedly the highest at ages under 5 years. The position held by
Somers Town as suffering from a greater destruction of life compared to the
other Sub-Districts is confirmed by the proportion of deaths to births. Somers
Town stands in this proportion markedly the highest in death-rates under 5 years
of age, and stands second in order of mortality under one year.
