NOTE:
As there has been a change of boundary during the year,
the statistics represent the events assigned to the area within
the boundaries as they existed at the date of registration of each
event. To allow calculation of valid Birth and Death rates the
population figure used, i.e. 303,890, is a weighted average of the
mid-year population of the areas as constituted before and after
the change. This population figure is calculated only for the
purpose described above and will not agree with the official
population figure of 303,550 published in the Registrar General's
"Annual Estimates of the Population of England and Wales and
of Local Authority Areas, 1969".
Population
The Registrar-General's estimate of the population of the
Borough, mid-year 1969, was 303,550. This figure gives a density
of 8.1 persons to the acre.
The natural increase of population, measured by excess of
births over deaths, was 1,126. The figure for 1968 was 650.
