THE
Annual Report
OF THE
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR THE URBAN DISTRICT OF
BARKING TOWN,
For the Year ending December 31st, 1907.
To the Chairman and Members of the Barking Town
Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
The population of the Urban District of Barking Town,
estimated up to the middle of the year 1907, was 29,500 persons.
This compared with the population as per census of 1901 gives an
increase of 7,973.
The number of occupied houses at the end of 1907 was 5,434,
and the number of empties 218, leaving the nett number of
inhabited houses as 5,216.
The alterations at the Railway Station, including the
approaches thereto, account for a loss of 144 houses, representing a
disturbance of 806 persons.
The basis of my calculation is the figure established at the
last general census of 5.6 persons per inhabited house.
