The average yearly death rate of the Borough during the previous live years was 13.0
per 1,000 of population.
The actual number of deaths registered as having occurred in the Borough during the
year 1927 was 3,034. This figure has to be corrected by the exclusion of 939 deaths which
occurred in the Borough of persons who were not St. Pancras residents, and by the inclusion
of 526 deaths of residents which occurred and were registered outside the Borough.
The corrected figure of 2,621 is used in calculating the death rates in this report.
In Table 1, on page 78, will be found details of the corresponding figures for previous
years.
