On every 10,000 of the Sub-District population the difference
of health is represented by 191 deaths in the Hackney
Road, by 219 in the Green, by 181 in the Church, and by 169
in the Town.* Correspondingly the Birth-rates varied from
380 in No. 1, to 457 in No. 2, to 379 in No. 3, to 365 in
No. 4. So, too, the Epidemic per centages ranged consecutively
from 23.5, 15.5, 16.7 to 25.5. In the Green 1 person
out of every 213 died of Consumption, in the Town 1 in 537,
in the Hackney Road 1 in 549, and in the Church 1 out of
every 614. Further, the infantile loss was respectively in
the first, second, third and fourth Divisions, 113, 129, 103,
and 102. The mean vitality of the dying reached only 17 95
years in the Town, 1950 in the Hackney Road, 19.87 in the
Church, and 27.84 in the Green; while the adult vitality
averaged 52.18 years in the Church, 52.87 in the Green,
5341 in the Town, and 53 91 in the Hackney Road. On
calculating the mortality of each sex for the last 4 years,
there was an excess of 34, 80 and 44 deaths of males in the
Hackney Road, Green, and Church; whereas 35 more females
died in the Town. The latter fact is curious, and perhaps
depends on the greater emigration that goes on in the Town.
Of adult Weavers 10 were cut off in Sub-District 1, 55 in
No. 2, 38 in No. 3, and 32 in No. 4. 34 of them lived
beyond 70, and 11 beyond 80 years; 6 of their deaths
occurred from Epidemics, 21 from Consumption, 3 Suddenly,
1 by Suicide, and 1 from Fracture of the Skull. Their mean
age was 61.
Among the males dying in certain occupations, professions
or positions above 20 years of age (Table 9) the proportions
to the living in 1851 ranged from 1 Accountant in 13,
1 Agent in every 3, 1 Annuitant in 25, 1 Baker in 52, 1
*These rates are derived from adding the excess of the Births over the Deaths
to the population of each of the Sub-Districts in 1851.
